A single gift of $250-499 entitles you to sponsor one day of programming. A single gift of $500-999 entitles you to sponsor two days. When we receive your contribution, we will mail your receipt and a form on which to reserve your day and compose your message. You may use your day sponsor benefit up to one year after the date of your contribution.

Your message will be read on the air twice during the day of your choice, between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Your message should be ten seconds in length, including the standard introduction of, "Today's KUOW day sponsor is ... "

Day sponsorships are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to reserve your date early.
