Final day of MSPR's Spring Fundraiser and Membership Drive

Today is the final day of Morehead State Public Radio's Spring Fundraiser and Membership Drive. If you haven't made your gift to WMKY (90.3FM), please do so today. 100% of gifts received this fund-drive will be used for student work-studies and local programming. Cuts to MSPR's FY1819 university-supported budget beginning July 1 has been reduced to zero with $44,000 removed in student work-study funding. To continue offering student work-study opportunities, MSPR will need to provide the funding from other sources. Providing hands-on opportunities with experience in a professional environment for career-ready training is a key mission for MSPR. If you believe in MSPR and want to support the students and local programming, we need your gift today.This is your final chance to support WMKY with your financial, tax-deductible gift. Any amount and all gifts are needed. Call-in your gift today at 606-783-2001 or use MSPR's secure online pledge form under the "Support Us" Tab at: www.wmky.org. Thank you.
