Fundraising Marathon Concludes

The annual WRTC fundraising marathon concluded Oct. 25.

On behalf of the staff and management, we thank all of our generous listeners who pledged to support the station.

As the non-commercial radio station of Trinity College, we offer a diverse schedule of 60-plus programs on a weekly basis. Aside from two very-part-time employees, we’re an all-volunteer organization.

Much of our financial assistance comes from our loyal listeners and we rely on your backing to keep us on the air doing what we do best.

Those who pledged will receive a payment form in the mail. Just follow the simple instructions and return it to: WRTC Marathon, 300 Summit St., Hartford, CT 06106.

You can also still donate securely on-line, just click DONATE!.

“Thank You” premiums are expected to be mailed out in the near future.

For more information, or to make a pledge by phone, contact the station at 860-297-2450.

Thank you again for supporting WRTC!
