It's that time of year again. The WPHS Pledge Drive has arrived once more and will take place from May 12th to the 16th!
As a noncommercial, student-run station, WPHS relies on our local community and loyal listeners to help fund us. The Pledge Drive is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year, and this year’s Pledge Drive is extra special for several reasons. If we can raise enough money, the Exile Radio has the opportunity to get a new radio tower and increase our signal strength from 100 to 600 watts. In addition, this year marks the 50th Anniversary of WPHS, making this the Golden Anniversary Pledge Drive. With these things in mind, we are hoping to make this year’s Pledge Drive longer and better than ever!
If you’re unfamiliar with our tradition, the Pledge Drive is an event that takes place the week before spring break each year. We have students broadcasting on the air 24/7 for the duration of the event. Listeners can tune in for extra long specialty shows and chances to win prizes by donating online or over the phone.
Our preparations have already begun, so be sure to mark your calendars, and tune in to help support your favorite high school radio station!
