Every Spring for the past 24 years, faculty and staff of the College of Behavioral and Community Sciences have pooled their gifts to support WUSF 89.7 during the Spring Campaign. The campaign will air this year April 22nd - 29th. To participate in the challenge, you will need to donate to WUSF. The easiest way to accomplish this is via the Faculty/Staff campaign donation site - http://bit.ly/FacStaffCBCS. On this link you will also find many of our college funds.

The fund number for WUSF is 380001. You may also donate via check. When you donate to WUSF, please email Steve Johnson with the dollar amount. If your donation is made via payroll deduction or you are a sustaining member, please let him know the annual amount you contribute. Last year, we raised $4,933 for the station. For those of you that donate, we will be arranging a tour of the station.

Thank you for your continued support of the challenge and the Faculty and Staff Campaign. By donating, you are not only helping our university radio station, you are also helping us reach our goal for the year.
