K1037 Launches Radiothon Fundraiser to Support Kahnawà:ke Cultural Arts Center
Community-Driven Event Aims to Raise $200,000, October 18 & 19

KAHNAWA:KE, QC- K1037 Radio is proud to announce a special Radiothon Fundraiser taking place on October 18 and 19, from 8 AM to 8 PM each day, in support of the Kanatahkwèn:ke Kahnawà:ke Cultural Arts Center. With a fundraising goal of $200,000, the station is calling on the entire community- residents, local businesses, and loyal listeners- to come together and help bring this vital cultural vision to life.

The Cultural Arts Center is a transformative initiative aimed at preserving, celebrating, and promoting Kanien’kehá:ka culture through language, art, music, and community-led programming. The funds raised during the Radiothon will directly support the development and operation of this much-needed community space.

“We’re inviting everyone to be a part of something truly meaningful,” said Kahsennenhawe Sky­ Deer, Capital Campaign Chairperson. “This isn’t just about dollars- it’s about honoring who we are, preserving our stories, and investing in future generations.”

Throughout the 2-day broadcast, listeners can expect a full lineup of live interviews, music, community stories, guest hosts, and special on-air challenges. Donation options will be made simple through phone lines, online portals, and in-person contributions.

K1037 encourages local businesses to get involved through sponsorships, matching donations, or by calling in with support during the live broadcast. Every contribution- large or small- moves the community one step closer to our $200,000 goal.

“Radiothons are a major undertaking, but have historically been very successful fundraisers,” said K1037 Chairperson Joe Delaronde. “Each one becomes its own special event that brings the community together to reach a common goal.”

Stay tuned, spread the word, and be part of history in the making.
