WAMC's Cyber Drive Beginning Monday

ALBANY, NY (05/05/2011)(readMedia)-- WAMC Northeast Public Radio will start their Cyber Drive Monday, May 9th at 6am, a month prior to kicking off their on-air drive. The Cyber Drive was developed to include more of the online community, bring in more new members, and create some added excitement before the actual on-air drive begins. The Cyber Drive will end on Thursday, June 2nd at 11:59pm. Every dollar raised will be counted towards Day One of the WAMC on-air spring fund drive starting on Monday, June 6th at 6 am.

"A million dollars is a great deal of money and WAMC as always, is broke going into the Fund Drive," says Alan Chartock, WAMC Northeast Public Radio's President and CEO. "The tank is empty, so as soon as you send in your money it goes towards the total of the drive. Why not do it now and have some fun at the same time? Hey, I'm not eligible, but I would sure like to win that prize."

There will be a grand prize winner from this Cyber Drive. One lucky winner will receive a one week stay for two people at The Harborside Inn in Edgartown Martha's Vineyard from July 31st to August 7th, 2011. www.theharborsideinn.com for more information.
