On April 16 The Press Club at HPU volunteered to work the phones at Hawaii Public Radio and helped raise more than $1,000 toward HPR’s Challenge 2007 spring pledge drive.

Established in 1981, HPR’s biannual pledge drives aid in raising the necessary resources to fund daily operating costs for the statewide public radio network. More than 63 percent of HPR’s annual operating budget comes from the donations of their listeners.
