Help us shorten the Spring Fundraiser!
Here’s a reminder of just some of what you’ve accomplished by contributing to WBJC...

  • You’ve shared Bach concertos, Mozart symphonies, Haydn quartets, Puccini operas, Beethoven sonatas, and thousands of other wonderful pieces of music.

  • You’ve opened the door to a joyful musical oasis, a landscape of peace and harmony, a refuge of comfort and calm -- welcoming everyone in at 91.5FM from York Pennsylvania to Alexandria Virginia, and beyond through the WBJC Stream.

WBJC’s spring on-air fundraiser is scheduled to begin on May 10th and run until May 13th. Because our listeners now provide a larger portion of WBJC’s budget than ever, this public service relies on the power of support like yours for the key funding behind everything we do.

You have the power to shorten the drive! Make a special gift before the fundraiser and for every $60,000 we raise before the drive begins, we will eliminate a day of fundraising.


There’s no match for the daily rewards of WBJC -- bringing you inspiration, comfort, and peace. And there’s no match for your support’s power to make it all possible!

You have shortened the drive before; you can do it again!


With my gratitude and appreciation for your support,







Richard Miles
General Manager
