WIPR returns to Plaza Las Américas on Friday, November 20, 2026, with a new edition of its "Cómplices de Allegro 91.3 FM" fundraiser. [^1] [^2] The event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the mall's central atrium, and was announced during the government's weekly Asunto Semanal press conference. [^3] [^4]

What the campaign protects is specific: Allegro 91.3 FM is the only classical music station in the Caribbean, [^5] and keeping it running costs roughly $50,000 a year, according to WIPR radio vice president Marietty Lasanta. [^6] Money raised on November 20 is earmarked for programming and equipment. [^7] Donations can be made in person at the event or online at wipr.pr/dona, and every contribution is 100% tax-deductible. [^8] [^9]

The fundraiser lands as WIPR's parent corporation works through a fiscal squeeze. The broadcaster is operating in the red, [^10] and executive president David Reyes Vázquez says it needs about $6 million to reach stable operations. [^11] The Office of Management and Budget has partially covered that gap with $2.3 million for payroll, [^12] and a $3 million Senate payroll measure approved October 19 is still awaiting action in the House. [^13] [^14]
