Spring Fundraiser 2026: Thanks and an Update

News

Every CKUA fundraising campaign is full of special moments and exciting developments. Spring Fundraiser 2026 was no exception. What a wonderful ten days we’ve just experienced together!

Did you feel the rush of excitement when Lisa Wilton and Kate Stevens launched the fundraiser on that first Friday, joined by a packed house at The Ironwood Stage & Grill? Maybe you listened throughout the week as host pairs—some familiar and some new—laughed together and invited the community to give. The final weekend was also full of fundraiser joy. What fun to see Roy Forbes and Lark Clark charm the crowd at the Beresh Arts Den.

In every fundraiser, we ask for your help in raising money, but we’re really asking for more than that. We want your companionship on the CKUA journey. We seek your participation in a community that recognizes music, arts, and culture as worthy of investment.  Here’s how Spring Fundraiser added up, thanks to our donors:

$1,001,987 raised
2619 unique individuals made 2836 donations
197 first-time donors
121 new monthly donors

48 monthly increases

What an incredible show of support. When you donate, you are saying “yes” to what CKUA offers the world. Music. Conversation. Variety. All with a strong community heartbeat and a human touch.

We are still reading your lovely comments, and the hosts will be playing your musical suggestions over the coming days and weeks. Thank you so much to all who supported CKUA during the Spring Fundraiser. Of course that incudes ongoing donors who support CKUA with a monthly donation. And the leadership donors, who inspire others to give.

We see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you!
