Hello everyone!! We are depending on you, our fabulous listeners, to make pledges to this year's FM-Phasis campaign in the name of our show (Monday Green Eggs and Ham 6-8 Edition with Camille and Janelle). Below you will find some background information on FM-Phasis, a list of prizes you will be eligible for, and instructions on how to make your pledge.
What is FM-Phasis and why should you make a pledge?
FM-Phasis is the Community Radio Society of Saskatoon's annual two-week on-air fundraising campaign. This year it commences Saturday September 19th and runs until Friday October 2nd. We (Camille and Janelle) will be hosting one show during this time (Monday September 21st).
FM-Phasis is essential to CFCR's existence, as it accounts for approximately a quarter of CFCR's annual operating budget, raising approximately $50,000 per year. The funds raised during past FM-Phasis campaigns have been directed toward continued improvements and upgrades for the station, including: moving to a new and improved location, new studio equipment, production studio renovations, a 1480-watt transmitter, and webcasting.
This year's campaign theme is "Community Radio - Home Grown Radio," and the goal is $60,000. If you love music and appreciate the work of the volunteer hosts at CFCR (Voted Saskatoon’s Best Radio Station by Readers of Planet S EVERY YEAR the survey has been done), please support us by donating to this campaign! All donations are sincerely appreciated!!
