LAWRENCE – Kansas Public Radio’s spring membership drive, the Campaign for Excellence, raised over $360,000.
The drive began April 9 with the Power Breakfast, 90 minutes of fundraising that brought in more than $25,000, and concluded April 16.
In addition to listener pledges, KPR received $62,000 in challenge grants, which are provided by an individual, company or foundation that challenges listeners to match their gift of a specific amount within a certain timeframe.
This spring, listeners who pledged during KPR’s popular Retro Cocktail Hour received a Retro Cocktail Hour pin if they gave $60 or more.
The station also partnered with the Topeka PetSmart to provide an item to the Helping Hands Humane Society in Topeka for every pledge received on “Fursday” (Thursday, April 15).
