Hello!

WFMU’s Fundraising Marathon is nearly here! Join us for two weeks of on-air mayhem beginning Monday, March 4th at 6am with Wake ‘n Bake and culminating Sunday, March 17th with our live band karaoke craziness that is the Hoof and Mouth. This isn’t your average pledge drive. We’ve got new swag, DJ tag teams, prizes, stunts, Yo La Tengo's annual song-a-thon, and a whole lot of fun. We are a listener supported station and can only exist with your help! Make a pledge here – wfmu.org/pledge
