giving tuesday

Today is November 30, 2021. A Tuesday. Not just any Tuesday, but the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. This day has been designated as the "Online Day of Giving" during the Holiday Season, Giving Tuesday.

This Giving Tuesday, we highly encourage you to spread some cheer to WCRS, you low-powered, FM radio station, that is 100 percent powered by hard-working volunteers. Community Radio is not free. WCRS does have licensing fees (to the FCC, plus BMI and ASCAP, not to mention), and maintenance fees, in related to our transmitter and antenna, as well.

To donate to WCRS, go to http://www.wcrsfm.org/donate.

In the wake of COVID-19, non-profits have been severely impacted. Art galleries and museums have closed. Symphonies, theatre and dance troupes have canceled Spring and Summer performances. Gala fundraisers have been canceled, left and right.

Giving Tuesday Now (from the brainchild of the online day of Giving during the Holiday Season) joined forces on May 5, 2020 for individuals to donate to non-profits, including WCRS. WCRS is an all-volunteer operated station run entirely by volunteers, who while social distancing, are running the station away from the Free Press Carriage House. Community Radio costs money. From licensing fees to maintenance on our antennas, it is not cheap to bring you community radio from the grassroots.

For more information on donating to WCRS, go to http://www.wcrsfm.org/donate. Any bit helps.

Giving Tuesday. Just, what is it anyway? Why give?

Giving Tuesday (which this year is November 27) is the online day of giving this holiday season, where you can donate online to your favorite charity. If you love WCRS-FM and the programs that air on this station, please consider a donation to your favorite community station. WCRS-FM is a low-power FM radio station that is entirely operated by hard-working volunteers. We depend upon your tax-deductible donations to stay on the air and make needed improvements to our operations. Your gift will help WCRS stay on the air and help grow its future.

To donate online to WCRS-FM, go to http://www.wcrsfm.org/donate.

Tonight on the Show:
- The Game: The Revenge Tour comes to an abrupt halt, as the Buckeyes slaughter That Team Up North, 62-39. The most combined points in the rivalry history, and the most points scored by Ohio State in the history of the rivalry (surpassing the old record of 50, twice set by Woody Hayes: 1961 and 1968). What's next for Ohio State and Michigan. Was this Urban Meyer (and Dwayne Haskins)'s last game at the Shoe?
- The Weekend Warrior: The Final Weekend Warrior before Christmas Eve runs through Holiday Lighting events throughout the Columbus area, plus a couple of non-holiday events, such as Creative Mornings, The Sergeant Peppercorn Marathon, and Columbus Children's Theatre's Nat King Cole Fundraiser Concert.
- Giving Tuesday: #GivingTuesday is November 27. Donate online to http://www.wcrsfm.org, to help keep WCRS FM alive for future generations to come (I have Show # 300 to look forward to next year, so make that big donation!)
