Kansas Public Radio collected a record sum – more than $220,000 in donations – during Fall Fanfare 2006, the station’s fundraising drive.

The membership drive began Oct. 13 with more than $75,000 raised through a direct-mail campaign. Eight days later, more than $145,000 was raised through on-air appeals.

All funds raised during spring and fall membership drives directly support programming services.
