THANK YOU ALL!
WHQR has just exceeded the 2026 Summer 3-Day Pledge Drive goal. We are so grateful to our community for funding the future of public radio here in Wilmington. Let's break down what YOU accomplished:
You donated over $80,000 to support WHQR
Thanks to your support over the past three-plus days, we reached our goal of raising the critical budget goal of $80,000. It is through our community alone that we can continue to provide your favorite programs, music, and more. We are so grateful to everyone who made a donation or became a sustaining monthly member or increased their monthly gift! As always, we are also grateful for all of our current members.
You helped local community partners
Not only did you support WHQR, but you also helped our community partners! Cape Fear River Watch will now clean an additional 92lbs of trash from the Cape Fear River, and Habitat for Humanity now has 105 2x4 planks for their next home. Way to go the extra mile with your donations!
A Big Shout Out to Our Challenge Match and Partner Donors
Thank you to our challenge match donors, who committed to matching donations this pledge drive! By agreeing to match donations, you were a large part of reaching our $80,000 goal. Your commitment encourages others to donate, even a small amount, to help reach that match goal for the hour! Thank you to...

And Bob Loweth made it possible to partner with Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity by committing to donating one 2x4 for each pledge on our second day of the pledge drive. Thanks to your donations, he will contribute the 105 planks to Cape Fear Habitat!
Thank You Too To Our Food Donors!
