Support WDET for a chance to win tickets to The War and Treaty, Movement, Hamtramck Blowout + more

WDET kicked off its 2025 Spring Fundraiser last week, and we are offering some exciting incentives to encourage listeners to support the station.

Everything we do at WDET is community-focused, and without support from the community we serve, we wouldn’t be able to continue the ever important work of highlighting local, fact-based news that impacts you, uplifting Detroit artists and musicians, and keeping listeners abreast of what’s happening in the city and region.

More than 50% of our operating budget is funded by WDET members. If you are someone who appreciates and values the work we do, and haven’t made a gift of support to WDET, consider making your first donation during our spring fundraiser to take advantage of generous funding matches and other awesome incentives. All first-time donors will also receive an exclusive limited edition WDET water bottle.

Those who make a gift during fundraiser will also have opportunities to be entered into exclusive drawings during specific programs, with a focus on Detroit’s entertainment, restaurants, and unique local experiences.

The War and Treaty tickets, studio visit

Anyone who makes a gift during Ann Delisi’s Essential Music, Rob Reinhart’s Essential Music from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday, March 15, or during Acoustic Café  from 1-3 p.m. this Sunday will be entered into a drawing for two tickets to see the acclaimed country husband and wife duo, The War and Treaty at Saint Andrew’s Hall on March 29.

The lucky winners will also be invited to WDET Studios to watch Ann Delisi as she interviews Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter live at noon, the day of the show.
