At all of our birthday events, you’ll have an opportunity to support BFF.fm by donating, buying some merch, or becoming a Bestie! We’re aiming to raise $5,000 for our independent, nonprofit, volunteer-run station during our birthday celebrations. Every single one of our more than 100 radio shows—each hilarious talk break, fascinating interview, off-the-cuff in-studio performance, and magical moment of music discovery—is made possible by donors like you. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, every penny donated to the station goes directly to supporting our mission of building powerful community radio for San Francisco.

So don’t wait, send us a lil bday support right now!
