SLOWCOAST Organic Handmade Local Gift Boxes

Please support SLOWCOAST community radio KPDO

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

All this week your lovely local KPDO DJs are on the air for our Winter/Holiday Pledge Drive!
At KPDO, we strive to serve, promote, and assist the Coastside community by broadcasting news, public service announcements, and safety information, in addition to our eclectic mix of talk and music programming. Since May of this year we have hosted election debates, interviewed candidates about the issues, and started the Pescadero Youth Radio Project, a program that educates Pescadero High School students in broadcast journalism.

Our goal is to raise $2,000 for general operating funds. With these funds, KPDO will be able to continue serving our listeners! Support community radio now by pledging to become a KPDO member.

We’re giving away great gift packages as part of our pledge drive efforts. Pledge online at: http://www.kpdo.org/support.php, or give us a call at (650) 646-KPDO or (650) 646-5736 to pledge your membership and receive:
