We feel good about what we did raise, said Shelly Hammond, development director at KBY'U. Though we fell short of our goal, we felt that it was a successful drive. It was more organized and pro- she fessionally presented than previousyears, said. The station raised $125,000 in 22 days of fundraising, Hammond said. Even though the final amount was less than desired, Hammond seemed hopeful that an additional $50,000 could be raised through renewals. Renewals are funds received from people who have donated before. Our fundraiser was a membership drive. We try to get those who have never given before to give. Once they give, we encourage them to become a subscriber, said Hammond. Another measure of the drive's success was the number of phone calls received. Hammond said the station received a rough estimate of 4,500 calls. Approximately 4,000 of those calls were new viewers.
