PhillyCAM presents WPPM 106.5 FM's 2024 Fund Drive: Wednesday, June 5th - Wednesday, June 12th, 2024
Join us in raising $7,500 in funds for our non-commercial, community radio station! During this week, we'll celebrate WPPM and rally support with special programming, live remote broadcasting and in-person events!

Your gift will support updates and maintenance for our transmitter, antenna, tower, emergency alert system, turntables, radio board, remote broadcast tools, and other studio equipment.
Donations from this drive will not only keep the lights on, but will also support our mission to uplift local voices. Donate and acknowledge your support of your favorite WPPM show below!
