Every Spring the radio station celebrates it's birthday with the Birthday Buck$ Drive for the entire month of April. (We ask for a minimum donation of $1 per year year for each of our years of service. During that month we host a various birthday celebrations across the community to give the listeners a chance to give on location and enjoy our festivities. In October is host our major fall drive, the Annual 48-Hour 'round the clock' Radiothon, held the first full weekend of October. Always an exciting kick-off to the Fall Drive season and is our biggest event of the year.
