On July 18th, KPFT Radio hosts the “Wear That Funky Music!” Service Auction at One Americas Plaza, 2311 Canal Street.

Guests are encouraged to dress as a song title or music personality and there’ll be costume contests as well as a table decorating contest. There’ll be a silent auction, live auction and raffles. This is a great opportunity for our radio listeners to meet and interact with other listeners, support the station financially and be entertained.

Call 713-526-4000 x315 to buy tickets over the phone. You and your friends, or your business, may want to sponsor a table. If so you can buy a table at the Brown Paper Ticket link, or download the Ticket and Tables order form at this link, or call 713-526-4000 x315.

Last, but certainly not least, we are looking for donated items/services. For businesses or nonprofits, this offers bidders an opportunity to learn more about the business/nonprofit in the process of donating to KPFT — a Win! Win! Win!

Every service contract/donation will be assigned a song title and creatively described in terms of music in some way. If desired, the donor’s name, address, email address and phone number will be featured in the auction catalogue, on our auction website and may be mentioned in promotions for the event. We are also soliciting sponsorship ads for the Service Auction catalogue. You can get this information from the web site, or call Robin Lewis, KPFT Development Director, at 713-526-4000 x315.
