CJSW wants YOU for their Funding Drive!

Looking to get involved on campus with some super cool and unique volunteer opportunities? CJSW 90.9FM, the University of Calgary's community radio station is recruiting volunteers for their annual Funding Drive coming up next week! Funding Drive is CJSW’s most important fundraising event of the year. The money raised is directly responsible for the quality and consistency of service the station is able to provide to the Calgary community throughout the year. For one week every year, CJSW listeners and the Calgary community give back to the station by pledging their financial support for campus and community radio. 

Local radio station CJSW staff celebrate over 30 years of radio at the University of Calgary campus. Keywords
