Highlights for August 2024

September 30th marked the end of our Giving Campaign, and thanks to your incredible support, we raised a total of $6,825! We couldn’t have done it without the amazing generosity of our community—you’ve helped keep community media thriving in the Central Valley.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated—your generosity fuels our mission! While the campaign is over, your support is always welcome.

September was a lively month for our Production Team, with 27 diverse projects under their belt, including board meetings and city council sessions.
