Happy Amplifiers Love Week! From now until the 2014 One-Day Summer Drive and Hood-to-Hood Challenge on Friday, June 13, we’re celebrating the more than 5,800 sustaining monthly donors who enable KEXP to play more “music that matters” every year.
KEXP Volunteers are calling Amplifier donors all week just to say “thank you,” and we’ve already heard some wonderful stories about why music lovers like you decide to boost their commitment to great music by making an ongoing monthly gift:
“I’ve been listening since the KCMU days and used to give sporadically during the drives. The Amplifiers club seemed like such a good idea that I even persuaded my sister to join” – Eric in Austin, TX
“I listen every day. KEXP was playing in the delivery room when my daughter was born and I appreciate having this great cultural resource in our city” – Sandra in Seattle, WAIf you're not an Amplifier yet, now is the perfect time to join. Make a gift and enroll in the Amplifiers before or during the One-Day Drive and you’ll automatically be invited to the annual Amplifiers Love Party this Friday evening.“Music can be so motivating and so inspiring and uplifting, and there’s no other place you can get that other than KEXP. It helped me get through nursing school in Spokane and helps me be away from Seattle.” – Nora in Spokane, WA
“KEXP isn’t just a radio station—it’s a great resource for music. I love the sense of community. It’s like any other station out there.” – Matthew in Seattle, WA
“I just love everything you do at KEXP—and I love that you call personally!” – Rob in Crozet, VA
And if you’re already an Amplifier, don’t be startled if you get a call from KEXP this week. We just want to tell you how much we love you!
Seattle is an amazing city—and the whole world knows it. The Seahawks won last year’s Super Bowl, Nirvana was just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and we made national headlines by raising the minimum wage to $15/hour.
KEXP’s 2014 Hood-to-Hood Day celebration in Ballard is in full swing today—and the battle to host next year’s Hood-to-Hood party is about to begin!
