Family Life Radio/Tucson (FLR) recently concluded their fall fundraiser, surpassing the need a day early, which allowed the successful launch of the Hope for a Million campaign, where the financial need was also met. The initiative aims to reach one million people weekly through billboards, digital marketing, community events, and new radio stations, inviting listeners to help spread the message of Jesus and bring hope to their communities.
Throughout the fundraiser, thousands of donors shared how FLR has brought them hope during their struggles. One such story came from Stephanie in Michigan, who lost her parents and sister within just a year and a half. “I had been feeling lost and unsure of my path. Family Life Radio has given me so much hope. Everyone goes through trials, but this station brings me comfort and peace,” she said.
“Many of our listeners have shared that they are facing some of the most difficult times in their lives and are relying on the messages of hope they hear through Family Life Radio. Seeing such an incredible response from them is truly humbling,” said Mike Kankelfritz, FLR’s Chief Broadcast Engagement Officer.
FLR worked with the team from Vidare Creative: Dave Kirby and Bill Scott. “In the years of partnership with FLR, we have seen incredible growth in their commitment to make a real difference in the lives of their listeners. The success of this fundraiser is a result of that passion. Vidare Creative is proud to be a small part of what God is doing,” said Dave Kirby, Chief Creative Officer for Vidare Creative.
