We’ve reached the final day of our Fall Member Drive, but don’t take your foot off the gas just yet. Member support has kept The Current thriving for almost 20 years, and your support now will keep this musical public service flourishing in the future.

Your support really does make a difference — especially today, because the MPR Member Fund has pledged an additional $25,000 in support of the music and programs you love ... but only when we raise $75,000 before 10 a.m.

Do your part to keep this musical public service strong — and help us unlock extra funds from the MPR Member Fund — by donating now to The Current. Let’s celebrate how member support powers The Current with music!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs about strength or being strong would you like to hear?
