WSU’s Northwest Public Radio is procuring items and services from businesses for its first-ever online auction, Feb. 3-12, to contribute to the operations of the university’s public radio service. Using the website to auction items of interest to the station’s audience was a logical extension to help with fund raising and to engage the audience, organizers said.
The theme for the auction includes four categories: art, food, travel and wine. Businesses that contribute items or services will have a photo of their donated item(s) with a description and link to their website posted on the Northwest Public Radio Web site, www.nwpr.org.
“We’re just trying to test the waters and see if businesses are interested in participating and getting attention for their products,” said Tom Hungate, auction coordinator.
The Northwest Public Radio website provides news information, program schedules, sponsor information and links to audio streaming of NWPR’s two services: NPR and Classical Music and Your NPR News Station.
For more information on the auction, contact Hungate at 335-6537 or hungate@wsu.edu.
