Be 1 of 100 The Shura Council sincerely appreciates an encouraging immediate response to the Radio Ramadan ad campaign.

 We are particularly touched by the very first contribution received from an interfaith partner of the Christian tradition who contributed $1,000 toward this campaign. 


 
As of this appeal, we have received 49 sponsors and we thank each one of them. We invite you to become 1 of 51 remaining sponsors to share the blessings of Ramadan with fellow Southern Californians.
