WEAA Angel: Danise Jones-Dorsey

A THANK YOU LETTER FROM WEAA’S UNDERWRITING DEPARTMENT

Here at WEAA, we are in a constant mode of trying to discover creative ways to raise funds to continue bringing you the great programing that you’ve come to expect from 88.9.  

Therefore, we would like to personally thank Mrs. Danise Jones-Dorsey for becoming the station’s first “WEAA Angel”.

A WEAA Angel is a person who provides financial backing in support of the station through their own fundraising page.

In an effort to encourage additional support of the radio station, WEAA and Mrs. Jones-Dorsey collaborated to create the “1066 Club” (ten-sixty-six).

Why the 1066 Club? Mrs. Jones-Dorsey shares, “My goal is to have people commit to giving eighty-eight dollars and ninety cent ($88.90) to WEAA every month, for one year.  Of course we will accept whatever someone can give, but we must all have goals.  When you do the math, $88.90, ninety multiplied by 12 equals just over $1,066.00 per year”.

The question that we have gotten occasionally is “Does Danise get any money out of this?”.  No, all the money that is generated goes to the programing, operations and learning lab that is WEAA.

Danise sums up her relationship with her community by saying “I am committed to donating and raising resources to insure that our institutions like WEAA are financially secure, because I believe in telling our story on a daily basis through communication outlets we financially control.”

So as Danise Jones-Dorsey celebrates WEAA, WEAA celebrates Danise Jones-Dorsey!  We thank you for continued generosity and thank you for being one of our guardian angels.

Because of your support, we are able to remain the voice of the community!

With gratitude,

Desmond Barlow, Underwriting Director
