Funding Drive

January 14, 2014 - 9:00am -- ron

KHOI recently held their annual fundraiser. They sent out a mailer and had an on-air phone drive while having a party at the studio. The result was fantastic! The studio raised $30,000 in November and December. Their operating costs for a year is $150,000.

To reach their fundraising goal KHOI has the 500 Families program. Any family or individual who donate $250 or more per year gets recognized through this program (donations can be anonymous). So far the studio has 55/500 families.

If you want more information about how to donate you can call the studio at (515) 292-2878.
