Beantown Podcast Year Five Fundraiser

Hi everyone! Another February, another Beantown Podcast Annual Telethon Fundraiser!!! This year's annual telethon pledge drive fundraiser will take place at 5pm CST on Friday, February 25th! As always, there will be a livestream, hijinks of various kinds, and hopefully some fun phone calls from you all the fans.

We run this fundraiser each year to serve two purposes: 1) Cover the operating costs of our SoundCloud and WordPress hosting (allows for unlimited streaming, Beantown Blogging, etc.), and 2) Match all donation proceeds to a local charity. This year, I'll be matching 100% of donations to the United Way of Chicago. This means I'm not really pocketing anything you send my way -- I think together as a team, we can continue to run this show while also investing in and supporting the local community.

Per usual, we've got some amazing donor tiers! In order to simplify and streamline things, we're making our tiers easier than ever to understand. Also there are only two tiers so it's pretty simple.

Tier 1 ($ any amount): Shoutout live on air

Tier 2 ($20): Like the Green Bay Packers, you will be considered an official shareholder of the Beantown Podcast Year Five. I'll compile a list of our shareholders on beantownpodcast.com and you'll receive a certified certificate of authenticity in the mail. Now THAT is cool.

Looking forward to the big event! My phone number is 815, then 298, then 7200, and lines will open up at 5pm CST!
