(Updated 9:15pm) OSWEGO — A one-day fundraiser called “Thousand Member Thursday” is being called a success tonight.  Staffers at NPR affiliate WRVO say the station eclipsed their goal, after hearing from more than 1,300 members by the time the one-day fundraiser officially ended this evening.

It’s called ‘Foneless February’, and for years the silent fundraising campaign has been a hit with listeners of public radio station WRVO. The end result of the low-key effort is less hours of on-air fundraising in March. This year, the spring fundraiser will be shortened by five days thanks to over $90,000 in early contributions.
