KWMR Pledge Drive 2026

Classical Thursday with Paul Smith, Nancy Vayhinger, and John Levy

Show and Programmer Name

It is the annual KWMR Pledge Drive where we all come together to raise $150,000 for our Community Radio Station. This is our first drive since losing our Federal Funding and community support is more important than ever to keep KWMR going strong!

Help us reach our personal fundraising goal before midnight on May 1st. 

Here's how you can help:

  • Donate: Contribute whatever you can. Every dollar amount counts! The more individuals who make a pledge, the more we know how valuable our station is to our community. 
  • Spread the Word: Share our fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!
  • Attend the KWMR Day Celebration: Come out to Point Reyes and join us at our birthday party! Saturday, May 2nd from Noon to 4pm at the Dance Palace Community Center. Hope to see you there! CLICK HERE for more information about this FREE event and don't forget to (sort of) prepare for the "No Talent" show. 

ON-AIR every Thursday from 2 pm to 4 pm.

Can't wait to listen? CLICK HERE to listen to the archives, now. Or download the KWMR mobile app to listen anywhere. Search for "KWMR" in the app store. 

Thank you so much for your support! We couldn’t do this without you!

"The best classical music.

Profound. Beautiful. Broad. Deep. Welcome to 2 hours of concentration and pause.

World class beauty --joyous transcendence-- fun complexity! Music that was often

crafted in the midst of tyranny, war, pain or profound personal grief – letting me know

that we ordinary mortals might also have access to the depths and create a positive life.

Listen!" - Nancy, KWMR Board President
