the WHAT YOU NEED – WRUW 2026 Fundraiser

Thanks for checking out the 2026 WRUW Telethon page for the WHAT YOU NEED/What The Heck? freeform radio program!

We have a number of great-looking new t-shirts as “thank-you” premiums for your donations this year – I particularly like the “College Radio is Messy” one here: https://telethon.wruw.org/product/2026-messy-tee/

If you would like to maximize the power of your donation, consider donating to our endowment fund. An endowed account represents a long-term investment by our community in the future educational and programming endeavors of Case Western Reserve University’s campus radio station. Thanks to your donations last year, we were able to fully fund the starting amount for the endowment to get established! But of course there is always room for more to keep it solidly sustained, which demonstrates your dedicated generosity toward WRUW to the University, and helps us develop a future-forward plan to grow as your home for more music and fewer hits. Please note that donations to an endowed account cannot be made to any one particular show, and are not eligible for premiums.
Donate to the endowment!

As a volunteer programmer at WRUW for over 15 years now, I can tell you that your support for our unique, colorful, and culturally essential radio station is greatly appreciated — thank you so much for listening and giving!
