Fall Fund Drive

 

We’ll be doing the Fall Fund Drive on Handful of Brains! (originally aired Tuesday, 10/24/2023, 7 – 9 PM on WRIR 97.3FM Richmond Community Radio) Please give whatever you can to support independent radio in #rva at https://www.wrir.org/donate/ . No other radio station in town brings you the diversity in music that WRIR does. And this all-volunteer station is truly representative of the diversity of your community, with people coming together from all walks of life to make this station work. While I wish we could run the station on the rich enthusiasm of our volunteers, we need cold, hard cash to pay for equipment, utilities, rent, etc. Check out the cool fund drive premiums at https://www.wrir.org/donate/ and help us out!

Besides yapping about the fund drive, we’ve got an eclectic mix of music to play including Devon Gilfillian, The Mommyheads, Blind Melon, Margo Price, The Lemon Twigs, Micky Dolenz, Ty Segall, and more!
