Our summer drive is happening right now, but this year we're doing something special and new. We're calling it the Sustainer Stealth Drive (and if you want a real tongue twister, you can call it the Summer Sustainer Stealth Drive)! Instead of interrupting programming, we’re coming to you by email and social media and brief on-air announcements to ask you to support and sustain your public radio station. When you become a sustainer or increase your monthly gift right now - a WHQR staffer will deliver a beautiful rosemary plant to your doorstep to say thank you. (We'll also throw in a booklet of WHQR staff's favorite rosemary recipes.) And, best of all - YOU will be sustaining the programming you love and count on every day.
