WYSU to launch spring pledge drive

YOUNGSTOWN

Listener-supported WYSU 88.5 FM, Youngstown State University’s public radio station, will have its annual spring pledge drive Tuesday through Friday with a goal of $110,000 — the most ever for a spring drive. The on-air portion of the WYSU membership drive has been reduced 72 hours, for the first time.

Everyone who makes a pledge (either as a new member, a renewing member or with an additional gift) during the pledge drive will be entered into a drawing to win a pair of tickets on a Go Ahead Tours 11-day Alaskan Glacier Cruise. Daily prize packages, a new member prize basket and a Pennsylvania member prize package will also be given away. All packages include a new HD radio. To contribute money, call 330-941-1481, or use the secure online server at wysu.org. Thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, every pledge will result in Second Harvest Food Bank distributing $30 worth of food.
