We have a lot of great thank you swag available when you pledge!
We're calling on all Radio Heroes to help us hit our big Fall Pledge Drive goal of $25,000! Your generosity does so much more than keep the lights on. It also helps us maintain and improve our facilities and signal so we can better serve this amazing community that we call home. If you have a moment, please consider giving us a call or pledging online to help us out. We have a lot of amazing swag (aka thank you gifts) available when you pledge at $25 or more, so scroll through this list and see what's available!

$100 - Ray Charles: Eighteen Classic Albums
This is one heck of a collection! For a $100 pledge you'll get this CD compilation that assembles EIGHTEEN classic albums that Ray Charles recorded between 1957 and 1962.

It's an incredible collection, and we'd love to send it to you as a thank you gift!
$100 - The KMSU Record Expedition
This one is a lot of fun! For a $100 pledge you can ride a bus to the Twin Cities with a bunch of KMSU DJs and Radio Heroes for a day of record shopping at some of Minnesota's best record stores! Not only that, but you'll also get the KMSU Goat in a Coat Tote to haul your new vinyl around in, and you'll get to go on the air the following week to play all your new records! Help out KMSU and hop on the bus! You'll have a great time.
$100 - KMSU Days Sponsor
Sponsor an entire day of programming on 89.7 the Maverick! We can do something as simple as read a statement saying that you are supporting today's programming or dedicating the day to something/a person. Some listeners even ask that we play certain musicians or genres of music through the day. It's a fun way to support your station, as well as have a day celebrating your radio hero-ness!
There's the swag! Please give us a call at 507-389-5678 or 1-800-456-7810, or give online at kmsu.org. Your pledges not only help us stay on the air, but they also let the university know that you value having an independent media voice in your neck of the woods. You truly are Radio Heroes!
