ALL PARTNERSHIP CHALLENGE SLOTS HAVE BEEN FILLED.
The WHQR Partnership Challenge - Fall Pledge Drive 2015
Non-profits in the Cape Fear region know that WHQR Public Radio is an essential part of a strong marketing plan, and one of the best ways to expand their reach.
In our 2015 Fall Drive, October 21 - Unknown (we hope to make our goal by October 27), WHQR will salute local non-profits that make a difference in our community, and give your group a chance to be heard even more. Winners of our Partnership Challenge will receive underwriting contracts on WHQR.
Here’s how it will work:
- Local businesses and groups sign up for pledge drive phone shifts of 3 or 4 hours during our drive, October 21 - 27.
- Your organization sends 4 (4 are required to be eligible) representatives for the entire shift – staff, volunteers, board or friends
- Each shift is assigned a goal based on time of day and day of the week
- The captain of your group will be interviewed on the air two or three times during your shift about your group and the reason you support the station
The groups with the best percentage over the goal will receive contracts for on-air underwriting:
- $1,000 first prize
- $500 second prize
- If the winner is a business, it is encouraged to use the underwriting to support a non-profit in the community along with company name
- All shifts will be fed delicious food
- Be part of the fun!
