Many thanks to everyone who's pledged so far to the 2026 #WFMU fundraising marathon! And extra special thanks to our new and renewing Swag For Life pledgers, whose automatic monthly donations help to insure some steady income throughout the year.
We need to raise nearly $800,000 (!!) more to reach our goal, so we still want to hear from YOU:
