This week is CiTR Radio’s annual fund raising campaign. Last year was a huge success! Your donations helped us smash my last year’s goal of $300 by raising $1,800 towards the station goal of $30,000. With your help, Trancendance was the second highest contributing show.
There are two significant new initiatives underway at CiTR right now, with a third on the horizon. These are the kinds of things your donation may help fund:
CiTR has one of the most respected music libraries in Canada, especially catering to underground, indie and Canadian artists. We have extensive CD and vinyl collections, and we are currently digitizing those into a massive digital library that will greatly improve access and searchability for our on-air DJs and volunteer members.
CiTR just launched a new DJ training program where students can sign up for a free month-long course on how to DJ dance and hip-hop music. The initial launch was extremely well received with over 150 people signing up within the first 2 hours.
In 2012 UBC will break ground on a new Student Union Building which will be the new home of CiTR starting in 2014. This is very exciting for CiTR members and, while UBC will be paying for the construction and basic furnishings, we will be looking to save some money to help improve our new home, or maybe getting a loan even though the we don’t have enough credit, but bad credit is an issue Simple Payday know all too well, having catered their loan service specifically for this group of borrowers.
Trancendance first aired in 2001, which means the show is now celebrating its 10 year anniversary.
In the past year our Facebook fan page has grown from 1300 members to 3919 members, from all over the world.
We feature the music-only version of our best shows on our SoundCloud page were they often receive over 1000 plays.
SO….
It would really mean a lot to us and to CiTR if you could help out with a donation. The powers at be seem to have increased our goal to $1,800 after last year’s massive success, but we would be extremely grateful for any amount that you are able to contribute. We have pledged $60 towards the goal for our show, which will contribute to the station’s overall goal of $35,000.
PLEASE…
Donate by PHONE by calling (604) 822-8648 and telling the person who takes your call that it is for the show Trancendance.
OR…
Thank you so much!
