We did it. With 7 days, around 100 dedicated volunteers, over 40 programs, 168 hours of radio and one hell of a will we raised over $25 000 to keep CJAM on the air for another 365 days.
We will be using this money for some much needed computers as well as other upgrades to keep the station running at its best. I would like to take this time to thank anyone who actually went out of their way to pledge money towards our cost.
So, we reached out goal. What now? Well now is the tricky part. We got the promise from all these people that they would pledge collectively over $25 000. But now we need to make sure they make good on their promise. After the pledge drive, the biggest problem is people backing out and thus our $25 000 bucks could very well turn into $2. But luckily, last year we boasted a 95% rate on collecting on our pledges, so things are looking good and I could no be happier.
Check out the website for a small blurb about the end of the drive here.
Now that the drive is over, we can return to our regularly scheduled programming.
