Dear John,

You may know my voice from KQED’s radio fundraisers, but I wanted to personally introduce myself and let you know that we’re kicking off our annual September fundraising drive this week. You’ll be hearing lots more about it from me on the radio!

We’re excited to share some great thank-you gifts with you, and keep you posted as we work toward our goal. But we understand that some of you need your daily news and information right away, without any interruptions. That’s why we have KQED’s pledge-free stream, a webcast of uninterrupted radio exclusively for our monthly sustaining donors.

When you start your monthly donation today, we’ll email you a link for the pledge-free stream! As long as you continue your monthly gift, you’ll have access to uninterrupted streaming during every radio drive from now on.

Our mission at KQED is to inform, inspire and involve our communities by using media as a force for good. I support this goal by not only working here, but by giving monthly as well.

I’m grateful for everything that you do as a member of our KQED community. If you’d like access to this exclusive feature, then I hope you’ll consider becoming a member by making a monthly gift to KQED today.
