WMUA 91.1 Fund Drive
Once a year, WMUA interrupts its regular broadcast of public affairs, UMass sports and lots of strange and beautiful music in order to invite listeners to contribute to their humble endeavor.
Beginning with the traditional 14-hour Polkathon blowout on Saturday, November 1 (beginning at 6:00 a.m.), the goal is to raise $35,000 during the week.
WMUA, licensed to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, is a student and community radio station, in continuous operation on campus for sixty years.
The station broadcasts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to an audience within 25 miles of Amherst, as well as over the Internet (www.wmua.org). WMUA is one of the largest student organizations on campus, with an annual budget in excess of $100,000 (almost half of it raised through individual donations, business underwriting and other fundraising.)
The special Fund Drive phone number is (413) 577-3000.
