Our first One-Day Fund Drive was an immense success and we hope to build off of this success, and drastically reduce the amount of air time we spend on fundraising.  Again, Only with your help.   Please read on.

KSFR is reinventing its pledge drives.  Instead of 32 full days of on-air fundraising, we are planning just five  in the coming year - 2010.  How can we do that?  Only with your help.  

No need for lists of thank-you gifts, your "gift" will be all the programming we can give back to you.  Every dollar will go towards our programming.  No procrastination - one day to get this Drive complete.  

We will have fun throughout the day - with one focus - fundraising.  You'll be able to watch the phone room, too, we'll be web-streaming!

Here are the dates to listen for:

SERIOUSLY FUNNY!  - KSFR 101.1FM Public Radio is pleased to present an entertainment series created by Ron Bloomberg, premiering Saturday, Feb. 6th at 8:30am, rebroadcast on Wed., Feb. 10th at 6:30pm and Fri., Feb. 12th at 1:00pm.  SERIOUSLY FUNNY!   the story of William T. Tuttle, a modern day Don Quixote driving a worn out Chevy Camaro.  Set in Santa Fe, we follow William in his travels where he will meet a myriad of colorful and interesting characters.

William is a prototype of so many of us living lives of not so quiet desperation in 2010.  He's been in and out of jobs and relationships, but romantic sparks fly when he meets Blue Pearl - a waitress/performance artist with a rather dark past.  

The various story lines come together at Gus' piano bar where our regulars interact and where Blue Pearl sings a devastatingly witty Rogers and Hart song, "To Keep My Love Alive."
