“Effective fund raisers are not fast-talking salespeople trying to bring a quick buck to the institution. They are people who share and convey a deep belief in the merit and worth of the organization they represent ... You have to believe that your institution makes a difference.”

Jerold Panas
“Born to Raise: What Makes a Great Fund Raiser”

Audio Samples

The purpose of this area of the site is to give you selected examples of actual pitches used by past WRUW staff.

We have compiled 475 audio samples from the 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 fundraisers for you to browse through.

Thanks to Calvin, Chicago Dave, Ed Zeitz, Uprise, Nikki, Matt Garvey, Charles McGaw, Christine Hahn, Jim Eastman, Ben Hrouda, and Ian Charnas for helping with the editing of these files! The "mini-reviews" were done by these folks except where noted.

NOTE:

If you would like anything a little more recent, I have 5 years of audio archives of every Telethon show from 2004 through 2009. File sizes range from 15 MB to 125 MB depending on the length of the show. Contact me if you have a need for a specific show from 2004 to 2009.
