New Year Letter from the Executive Director
Jan. 1, 2019
Happy 2019!
The last couple of years have seen some roll back as far as basic civil respect for the LGBT community. While our challenges do not reach levels like those in Russia or other countries, they are real. Music has a way of reaching people at the core of their being. You feel music in your body.
Quest of Life Media & Broadcast’s mission is to assist LGBT singer/songwriter/musicians expand the reach of their music.
Our LGBT community’s music is the story of our lives. It inspires, communicates positive messages, gives courage, and hope. Since our launch in February of 2018, our websites and radio station QLRadio have had visitors from over 23 countries around the world. Yes, this is great for independent LGBT artists and yet it can be argued that it reaches humanitarian levels.
Russia is regularly in the top 5 of countries where visitors and listeners live. Several other countries, where LGBT oppression is alive, visit and listen. Challenges in these countries can be a matter of life and death everyday.
QLRadio, QoLMB, and the music of the LGBT community are a beacon of hope. Our communities music give LGBT youth and adults a positive vision of life and a community to connect with. This has been an unexpected positive outcome of our work but one that I’m proud of.
Please help us continue our work. For as little as $5 you can give QLRadio a day of broadcasting. Due to startup costs, our first 2 quarters reflected greater expenses than income. Last quarter with the communities contributions we flipped that in a huge way and we cannot thank you enough. Today we begin a new fiscal year with new expenses and we still face startup debt, but a fast shrinking one, again, thanks to you!
Not only will your tax deductible contribution keep QLRadio broadcasting, it will help Quest of Life Media & Broadcast support the creative process of LGBT artists and give hope to LGBT youth and adults in parts of the world with extreme challenges.
A of $5 donation gives us 1 day of broadcasting. A donation of $50 gives us 10 days of broadcasting and you will receive a copy of our Holiday 2018 LGBT Artist Compilation CD as well. $100 or more will give us at least 20 days of broadcasting and you will receive 1 of our Cool New QLRadio Tees. ANY donation will get ours and the communities deepest gratitude.
