SYRACUSE, NY – A massive national bowling tournament is in its final hours in Syracuse.

The bowlers came to Syracuse to compete, certainly, but also to be around lots of other people just like themselves.

WRVO's Frank Brieaddy says the fellowship created by events like this one is getting rarer and rarer.

WRVO is at a critical moment.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
