KCBX hosts its Fall Pledge Drive in September with a special week of fundraising activity – we’re calling it “Mission Possible” when we’ll be raising more funds for KCBX in less time, we’ve scheduled just six days in September for the on-air drive. Between now and then, you can help “Light the Fuse” by making an early pledge.
Any pledge made before September 20 will automatically enter your name in our Fall Grand Sweepstakes. Prizes include an Apple iPad and getaway packages at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara, the Monterey Great Wine Escape, Cambria Pines Lodge and the Paso Robles Inn with a Wine Wrangler tour of Paso Robles wineries.  While a chance to win great prizes is always fun – the real reason to support your public radio station is for the results you see every single day while listening to news & information, music programs and interviews. See all the details about Mission Possible at our website . Mail your pledge to 4100 Vachell Lane, San Luis Obispo 93401, pledge online , or call us during weekday business hours at 805-549-8855. Together, we can create a short, but sweet Fall Pledge Drive where - Success is the only option.
