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. Basically, if it's a classic Ray Charles song that you know and love, then it's probably on this set.  In addition to his albums, you also get work he did with vibraphone legend Milt Jackson and vocalist Betty Carter, plus a disc with singles and b-sides.  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!
