Use any of these Funder Spot choices during your classical music fundraising programming, and especially before or after playing any performance by Pascal Rogé.  Music suggestions for before or after the spot are listed below.

BEST PRACTICES:  Choose the 2-3 spots you feel are the strongest and rotate them regularly and consistently throughout your fundraising campaign - at least once, every other hour.  Using this OES strategy, your listeners will hear the most powerful messages enough times for them to resonate and inspire action.

Outro:  Different sounds… Different people… Different thoughts:  it’s a typical day in the life of your Public Radio station.  Listen... Contribute... Enjoy.   (Text out at 0:51)
