WILL hosting marathon pledge drive for 26.2 hours today

If you care about your public media, and you should, WILL is hosting one its annual fund drives today, and a very little bit of tomorrow. Their goal is to reach a week’s worth of fundraising ($100,000) in just 26.2 hours, a nod to the Illinois Marathon, happening this weekend.

For more information, including how to donate right now, read the description below and check out their site here.

Over the last several years, WILL has been working to be more efficient with fund drives. This year we’ve decided to try our boldest experiment yet, but it can only work with your help! The WILL Marathon is a community effort to support high-quality news, unparalleled arts programming, great classical music, essential early childhood educational tools and programming—with less on-air fundraising. In order to keep the focus on the programming you love, making sure more of it’s available to you, WILL is racing to fit a whole week’s worth of fundraising into 26.2 hours. Join us on April 12. Our goal is to reach $100,000 by April 13, and you can help us get a head start with your gift today at willpledge.org.
