Dear Something's happening (SH) with Roy Tuckman listeners, KPFK is in the midst of its spring fund drive. I want to encourage you to make a generous contribution to the station and become a monthly sustainer. You know kpfk very well—it’s been on the air for over 63 years. The reason you have been listening during SH show is because of the content Roy has been bringing and providing you for years and decades. So, I want to plea with you to make a generous contribution during SH program, 12 midnight to 6 am, by calling 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org, click on DONATE button, and follow a few easy steps to make your generous contribution. Can one of you give a $1000 contribution, one of you $500, or $250, or $50. We both understand the importance of keeping the station alive and on the air. I don’t have any shiny object to allure you to make a financial contribution—kpfk is here for you and because of you. Please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org, click on DONATE button, and make your generous contribution.

Also, I am looking for one person, and I mean you, to make a generous $250K contribution, it can be broken down to monthly payments, to help the station and foundation out. I will personally arrange a meeting with the Boss Lady, our Executive Director, for you to have informative conversation with her—this includes a glass of wine or two! So, please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org. I will welcome your $100K as well as $50 contribution; however, I am looking for one person, you, to make a generous $250K contribution. Please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org.
