This single one-week fundraiser provides about 2/3 of our annual operating budget. It’s easy to see why your 2026 donation is crucial to us!
As many of you know, I was on WRUW’s Saturday schedule for 35 years (1980-2015). For family reasons, I moved my show to Tuesdays for several years, but now I am heard regularly every Saturday morning again!
I haven’t quite reached the 50 year mark yet. But after 46 years, I still get enormous satisfaction from sharing great music with you each week. I work hard at it, but it is work that I truly enjoy.
If you enjoy the mix of folk and roots music that I present every Saturday, please make a donation to help us keep this music on the air for you. If your job has a matching gift program, you can make your gift even more effective. And since WRUW is part of Case Western Reserve University, your gift is tax deductible.
As our way of thanking you for your support, you can choose items from our WRUW catalog (below). Lots of great apparel and other items with the WRUW logos, so you can show your friends that WRUW is important to you. New this year are three attractive T-shirts that can be ordered individually or in a 3-pack. In addition, we have a quarter-zip pullover sweatshirt with an embroidered WRUW logo that looks great!. Check out the new “Dad Pack” and much, much more. Scroll down and see for yourself.
If you make your donation from this page, you will not only be showing your support for WRUW, but also showing your appreciation of my weekly broadcast of “The Music Gallery”.
Sadly, as we’ve seen this year, not everyone cares about college radio. Many don’t understand how much it contributes to the rich cultural fabric that surrounds us here in northeastern Ohio. But if you’re reading this, and if you are listening to the broad mix of multi-genre programming that WRUW brings to you, then you are not one of those people. You do care about WRUW and college radio. You are part of a small, but devoted, community of listeners. Please help us continue to do what we do.
Your donation is incredibly important to us this year. Last year we were very close to my goal for The Music Gallery. I hope you will help to make sure that we reach it in 2026! Thank you very much for your support!
