THANK YOU!  To all the amazing people who donated last week during our annual phoneathon fundraiser, on behalf of everybody here at WNUR, thank you so much for your support and may you enjoy WNUR's commercial free programming for a whole year.  The jazz show far surpassed its phoneathon goal and the station as a whole was also very successful. Also thanks to the fine labels, promoters, and musicians who donated premiums for us to give away.
