Contributions can be made by either credit card or PayPal through Friends of WKDU, a third-party group run by alumni DJs dedicated to financially supporting WKDU.

As the Philadelphia area's largest free-format station that broadcasts on the FM dial, WKDU is a true champion of the Philly music scene and no event showcases our love of our city than the Electronic Music Marathon. Since 1997 we have brought the sounds and talent of DJs, musicians, producers, and more from the underground electronic scene onto the airwaves in support of not just the station, but charity causes from around the city.

Over the last 20+ years, we have raised over $75,000 for programs in the city that focus on things like arts in schools and marginalized communities, animal welfare, and AIDS research and advocacy. For 2025, we are supporting Juntos, a community-led Latine immigrant organization based in South Philadelphia. Proceeds to Juntos will ensure that the non-profit’s community office space can remain open and fully staffed to provide a safe and welcoming space for the thousands of people that pass through each year as well as the education and training programs for youth organizers and high-risk folks.

Our non-commercial, award-winning college radio station is run entirely by Drexel University students and the organizers of this event are all volunteers. Contributions from individuals and companies via check by mail are tax-deductible and support student efforts to lead and manage WKDU operations. Please consider a donation today!
