Title: WFMU's 2015 Fundraising Marathon
Post by: BadGuyZero on March 16, 2015, 06:07:46 PM
This is the final week of WFMU's fundraising marathon. Therese is $350 shy of meeting the goal for her show. She's been a great friend of The Best Show for many years. You've heard her on the show as well as filling in for Tom when he needed a much-deserved week off. Any amount you can pledge to help her reach her goal would be greatly appreciated.

Pat Byrne also has a show on WFMU. Pat is one of the good people that helps Tom with the current version of The Best Show. Pat has one show left during the marathon: this Saturday at 9pm-12am EDT. I'll be at WFMU taking pledges via phone during Pat's show.

For those who have never pledged to WFMU it's super easy. You can make a one-time pledge of any amount over $10. If you pledge $120 or more you have the option of dividing your pledge up into twelve monthly payments [$120 = $10/month; $180 = $15/month; $250 = $20.84/month; etc.]. There are t-shirts, bottle openers and other cool WFMU swag that you can score for making a pledge; there's a bunch of really cool DJ premiums as well. You can check out the swag at https://www.wfmu.org/marathon/tch.shtml (https://www.wfmu.org/marathon/tch.shtml); DJ premiums are at http://wfmu.org/marathon/premiums.php (http://wfmu.org/marathon/premiums.php).

I just remembered...if you pledge $100 or more during Pat's show this week The Dead Milkmen's Joe Jack Talcum will write a short song just for you!

Is Tom going to help out on any of the pledge shows?

He's not scheduled to MC any of the marathon shows. He has been pledging.

Worth mentioning...pledges of $365 or more get you one or more items from the infamous Prize Warehouse. If you missed out on some past Best Show premiums it's a way to get your paws on them. Here's a list of what's currently available...

$365 [$30.42/month] = ONE Prize Warehouse item
$500 [$41.67/month] = TWO Prize Warehouse items
$1000 [$83.34/month] = FOUR Prize Warehouse items
