The CSC Atlanta community assisted local National Public Radio (NPR) station WABE 90.1 FM with their Spring Membership Campaign on April 29. Membership campaigns are periods during the calendar year that WABE breaks away from regular programming to ask listeners for their financial support to keep public broadcasting operating and available to the public.

The Atlanta office, coordinated by Chase Crowson of CSC’s Global Outsourcing Services (GOS), provided 10 volunteers. Chase notes, “It was somewhat serendipitous that this event followed just days after Team CSC’s great finish in the Tour de Georgia and coincided with the airing of Carrier on PBS stations, presented by CSC.”

This volunteer opportunity was of vital importance to public radio in the metro Atlanta area, and it provided CSC Atlanta community members from several different divisions with an opportunity to network with one another and to become more involved in community affairs. In one shift, CSC volunteers were able to raise $13,809 in pledges.

Participating CSC volunteers included:

• Mark Baade, NPS, Information Technology Infrastructure Services
  
• Chase Crowson, GOS, Global Solutions & Technology - Collaborative Market Solutions
  
• Michael Donnelly, NPS, Government Health Services – CDC
  
• Philip Dreger, GBS, Telecommunications Industries
