What is a KMUN Luminary?

A Luminary is a person who inspires or influences others, and is also a natural light-giving body, such as the sun or moon (or “‘MUN” as it is known in certain circles). A KMUN Luminary is all of the above AND a shining example of reciprocity.

Light the way for other listeners by becoming a KMUN Luminary and donating before the Fall Pledge Drive (Sep 9-16) at kmun.org/donate ☀

Happy National Radio Day! KMUN's Fall Pledge Drive is quickly approaching on Sep 9th-16th, and it’s going to be a big one. Our fundraising goal is $80,000 - our biggest one yet! - in an effort to offset the loss of federal funding.

Become a KMUN Luminary today by donating early and lighting the way for others to do the same. Your support is a beacon of light, guiding the way as we strive to be a voice for our community.

After all, our airwaves are an expression of you, for you, and by you 🌝

A big thank you to Susan Peterson for serving as KMUN’s station manager for the past three years and at the station for the last twelve.
