Dear Friends,

As you probably know, I am involved with CHIRPradio.org, Chicago’s community radio station. I’ve been involved with CHIRP since day one, and am currently serving on the Board of Directors, as well as DJing on Sunday afternoons from 4-6pm CST. CHIRP is important to me because there is no other radio station in our city – and let’s be honest, not a lot in our country – that focuses on independent music, artists and labels in a non-commercial, volunteer-driven environment. We’ve grown CHIRP from a dozen of us eating burgers at Moodys and dreaming of a station of our own into a fully operational radio station, broadcasting live and local from studios in the North Center neighborhood 365 days a year, with the support of over 250 volunteers and just two part time staffers.

After years of work, we're now on the cusp of launching our broadcast license - something that has come with tens of thousands of dollars of added expenses, from engineering and fabricating an antenna, to ongoing costs like higher electric bills and rent for the rooftop it will stand on. Now more than ever, we need your support.

As a special thank you this drive, everyone who donates will automatically be entered to win a pair of tickets to see "Hamilton" on August 22! Do not give away this shot! ;)

Please make a donation of $10 or $100 today to help CHIRP Radio thrive in 2017 and beyond. Thank you for your support!
Jenny
