Want to help BikeWalkLee promote bike/ped safety? encourage more residents to bike and walk? Participate in WGCU's "Your Community" pledge drive and select "Streets Alive of Lee County, Inc. and BikeWalkLee" as your organization to receive free radio spots. You can go online NOW to participate, or better yet, call 1-800-533-9428 during BWL's 4-5 p.m. on Monday Oct. 19th WGCU pledge hour. Help spread the word to your colleagues, family, and friends!
When organizations work together through teamwork and
collaboration, exceptional things happen.
This is one of the reasons Streets
Alive of Lee County, Inc. and BikeWalkLee, along with 60 other nonprofit
friends in the region have partnered with WGCU Public Media for their October Community
Campaign Radio Pledge Drive. Last year
we participated in this pledge drive, and loved the opportunity to talk on air
about our mission and local efforts to make our communities more bicycle and
pedestrian friendly. You may have also heard
some of our radio spots promoting BikeWalkLee's complete streets mission. This year, WGCU has made it even easier for
you to help us receive free radio spots!
If you’re unfamiliar, a couple times a year WGCU turns to
the community to raise the necessary funds to keep public radio programming on
the air. These “pledge drives” are
critical to WGCU’s operations and thousands of people from our region donate
money.

Here’s the fun part! On Monday Oct. 19th from 4 p.m. until 5 p.m.
BikeWalkLee's Dr. Cindy Banyai will be live on air on WGCU FM, raising
funds for Southwest Florida’s award-winning public radio station. In return, WGCU has offered us free radio
promos that we can use to promote our events and our mission throughout the
next year.
You can help us receive these
free radio spots!
Just call in (1-800-533-9428) anytime during the pledge campaign (October
17-23) and make a pledge of any
dollar amount. Once we’ve raised $1000 for WGCU, Streets Alive, Inc. and BikeWalkLee
will receive 28 radio spots! The more we
raise, the more spots we earn! Your gift will support our local treasure, WGCU
Public Radio, and at the same time provide us with valuable marketing
opportunities that we might otherwise not be able to afford.
WGCU-FM can be found at 90.1 on the FM Dial (91.7 FM on
Marco Island), is streamed live on WGCU.org, or can be accessed through the
WGCU mobile app. You can make your
pledge of support by calling 1-800-533-9428 or by pledging online at WGCU.org. Just make sure that you select "Streets
Alive Lee County, Inc. and BikeWalkLee" as the nonprofit you want to
support with free radio promos on the scroll down menu labeled "Click for
the Non-profit List" (it's in alphabetical order and we're 4th from the
last) .
Tune in, make a pledge, and we'd love to thank you live on
the air. Tied up on Oct. 19th? or just
can't wait to participate? Click here to make an online pledge. Just scroll down the "non-profit list" and Check
the box: "Streets Alive Lee County, Inc. and BikeWalkLee". Thank you!
Streets Alive Lee
County, Inc. and BikeWalkLee are honored to partner with the WGCU "Your
Community" Pledge Drive.
