Being part of the station really means a lot to me. Going in and doing my show is a form of mental, and sometimes physical (gotta dance!), therapy. It also makes me feel like I'm a part of a really cool community of amazingly talented and smart people who do radio because they love it and want to make RVA a better place to live. We are all volunteers. No one gets paid, so all your donations support the physical needs of maintaining station and our programming.

For $10/month or $60/one time, you get the limited edition WRIR Spring Fund Drive t-shirt. You can check that out and our other premiums (if you want to give more!) at wrir.org/donate. But you can give any amount at all. It all helps!
