Thank you, to all of our great members who have helped us to raise $84,171 during our Spring Membership Drive. You truly are the force that powers public radio across the High Plains.

Your support helps HPPR to provide the highest quality of public radio programming. Programs like Morning Edition, All Things Considered, High Plains Morning and Car Talk, are only available because of people like you, who have picked up the phone, went to our pledge page, or sent in their contribution through the mail.

Pet Challenge Day!

April 23rd is Pet Challenge Day at HPPR! Who will reign supreme? Cats? Dogs? Iguanas? Vote now and pledge your support for great public radio now! (Pledge Here)

For every $100 pledged to HPPR today, we'll donate one underwriting announcement to benefit humane societies. For example, a goal of $7,500 for that day would net 75 announcements. That would be over 12 announcements per month to be aired during regular programming over the next six months.

HPPR's Spring Membership Drive has ended, but if you didn't have a chance to pledge your support, you can still help close the gap! You can keep public radio on the High Plains strong by pledging now.

This spring HPPR also wants to know how public radio enriches, engages and empowers you and your community on the High Plains. (You can use the comment section at the end of this post.)

By selecting a new, additional or renewing membership level that’s comfortable for you (pledge here) you'll give a strong finish to our April goal of $110,000.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you, HPPR members! Your pledges of support have gone to keep great HPPR and NPR programming on the air throughout the High Plains. Your support during our mini-drive has helped HPPR to raise $16,045 towards quality news, music and entertainment.

Members are the most vital resource for HPPR. We truly depend on and appreciate the involvement of our members, and couldn’t make public radio available without you.

$15,755 toward our $26,000 goal!

All Who Pledged Their Support... Thank You!

Ben Brandow — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 15:38:10 +0000

We would like to thank all those who made time to pledge their support during the Feed your Radio, Feed a Family Fund Drive. No matter whether you called, mailed or went on to hppr.org to make your pledge, you've made a difference on the high plains.

The Feed your Radio, Feed a Family Fund Drive raised over $60,000 for HPPR, and thanks to our generous sponsors, 5.7% of every dollar pledged to HPPR was also matched to local food banks. Those food banks were able to take that 5.7% and translate it into 17,500+ meals to high plains residents.
