WFMU's 2010 Fundraising Marathon kicks off today!

You can pledge here (or below), and peruse some of the stuff that you can get with that pledge (including sweet t-shirts, shot glasses designed by Jad Fair and much more) here. And, of course, you can listen at 91.1 fm in New York, 90.1 fm in the Hudson Valley and online on wfmu.org.

You can also check out the marathon schedule here, and see a nifty map of where the station's pledges are coming from worldwide. They've already got a donation from Abo, Finland!

The marathon runs through March 14th. WFMU is a completely awesome and completely unique radio station, so if you are able, give a little bit to help keep things going.

We're particularly excited that on Friday, March 5 Yo La Tengo will be playing cover song requests for pledges. That's from 8-11pm, so make plans to listen in before you head out for the weekend or whatnot.

We've even got an embedded "Insta-pledge" box below so that you can give what you want right now.
