Be a champion for KNKX Public Radio!
It’s almost time for GiveBIG! This state-wide charitable event, dedicated to supporting the causes you care about, is coming up on May 5 and 6. This year, KNKX is looking for advocates to represent the important cause of public radio. You can get the word out about how much KNKX means to you and your community, and help ensure funding for this vital resource, by creating your own FUNdraise, peer-to-peer campaign.
This is a meaningful and impactful way to support the public radio you’re depending on, particularly if you are already a member OR aren’t in a position to give a monetary gift at this time.
More information about creating your own FUNdraising page can be found here. The kind folks at GiveBIG have also provided this handy toolkit and FAQ. The deadline to set up a FUNdraise page is May 4.
To get started right away, just follow Step 1 from GiveBIG’s FUNdraising guide, and create your GiveBIG donor account. You can select KNKX as your organization by going directly to our page and clicking the FUNDRAISE button.
