WHPK Pledge Drive

WHPK, The Pride of the South Side, is currently conducting their annual pledge drive, running now through May 8. Sorry PBS fans, there aren't any tote-bag giveways, but you can get other "premiums" at bargain prices. Here's the word from the 'HPK website: For a contribution of at least $14.99, you'll receive a WHPK sticker and one year of WHPK program guides. For any donation of $15.00 to $24.99, we'll send you a WHPK mug, a WHPK sticker, and one year of WHPK program guides. For any donation of $25.00 or over, you'll get the mug, sticker, and program guides, as well as the fantastic new 2005 WHPK t-shirt. Ethan D'Ercole designed this year's shirt, and sizes from small to XXXL are available. Click here to see a sample version. Local businesses have graciously donated many other premiums available during on-air giveaways. Tune in to get the lowdown! The premiums donated by local business are also a bargain. For example, for a $15 pledge you can get a $10 gift certificate to Hyde Park records. You practically get all of your money back while still contributing to a good cause! Tune into 88.5 FM on the South Side for more details or check out their website at http://whpk.uchicago.edu/. (hold tight North Siders, word on the street is that WHPK will be soon be webcasting, so hopefully you'll soon be able to check out this hidden gem without traveling to Hyde Park)
