Welcome to the relevant radio Spring Pledge Drive. Give Hope.

What an amazing hour we just had.

So let us bow our heads in prayer again, asking our lady to pray for us and with us as we make our way toward our pledge drive goal, which has to be wrapped up by 5 p.m. central tomorrow. In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Remember, almost gracious Virgin Mary that never wasn't known that anyone who fled to thy protection implored thy help or sought thine intercession was left unneeded. Inspired by this confidence, I fly into the O Virgin of virgins, my mother, to the I come before the I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the word incarnate, despise them of my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me, amen. In the name of the Father and the Son of the Holy Spirit, amen. So here's the deal. So we're in Pledge Drive mode. You can call me and be on the air. I'd love to talk to you. I know a number of you were trying to call in in the last hour, but couldn't because we had the special matching donation from a group of anonymous donors. Even I don't know the names of the people who did this but they volunteered to give $80,000

toward the relevant radio pledge drive if we could raise $80,000 in the last hour which we did

thanks be to God and thanks be to your generosity so we we made that goal and I'm so grateful to all of

you who did participate because not only was it a double

match with that extra 80,000, but it was also triple match because we already had a matching

hour last hour anyway. So we want to keep the momentum going. You can call and be on the program

if you want to ask a question or whatever. 888-914-9-149 but by all means please do take a moment to go

to relevant radio.com right now and make a pledge safe and secure or you can go to the relevant radio app

which is probably already on your phone anyway and if it's not just downloaded it's free it's easy

and it's the best app you'll have I'll tell you that and you And you can make a pledge there. Yes, Mary. Have you looked at this number? We only need another $39,000 to hit the $1.5 million mark. Oh, look at that. Yeah, let's put that kind of, plant that seed right now and make that happen during this hour. Let's do it. Yeah. So we're not going to ask the whole time.

You can go back to your regular show. I give you permission. Why, thank you, Mary. Very thoughtful of

you. So yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that. So just as I see what you're looking at now,

you have $39,000 left to get to the next goal of $100,000. That would put us at $1.5 million in or 50% in. If we can get that done

before the end of this hour, what a great accomplishment that will be. Keep in mind,

you can't call and be on the air 888-914-9149. And I do want to just say a couple of quick thank-yous before we move into calls and

emails. Thank you, Greg, in Kokomo, Indiana for your $1,200 gift a few moments ago. Thank you for that.

Thank you, Maria, in Morton Grove, Illinois, your $25 second gift for this pledge drive. We really
