DFACorps: Fundraising for KQED
Will Carsten is the Outreach Director for San Francisco for Democracy.

SNIP..."On the evening of Saturday December 4th, ten of our members volunteered at the local PBS television station, proudly displaying our San Francisco for Democracy t-shirts. The station, KQED, was conducting their annual Winter Pledge Drive in support of their year-round efforts to bring quality educational, informative and entertaining programming to the Bay Area. We were the largest group of an even larger group of volunteers who, in one night, helped raise over $50,000.

This was just one of a number of DFACorps events we continue to be involved in. Some of our more photogenic members (of which I am not one) got some quality air-time. There were also a couple of good shots of our logo, and we received on-air acknowledgments for our efforts.

I think a good time was had by all. I know it was a lot easier than calling undecided voters in Iowa. Ah, the good old days. We may even have recruited a couple of new members from the other volunteers that were there. This is something we look forward to doing again very soon."
