We're still looking for donations, but it might not be for long

How about we wrap this whole fundraising thing up?

WRVO's spring fundraiser is well on its way. We've been up at 5 a.m. (earlier in Jason's case), on the air at 6 a.m. and closing up shop 12 hours later. But it's all worth it!

We're within striking distance. We've told you our goal is $180,000. We've told you we're going to stop fundraising when we reach that goal. And now we're telling you that it could happen tomorrow morning. We can't guarantee it! But when you have a feeling, you have a feeling, right?

We hope you tune in tomorrow morning -- that's Friday, March 10 and make your contribution. We'll be on the air starting at 6 a.m. and it could get pretty exciting. Whether it's extra challenges, a lot of your favorite staff voices, or new incentives -- we don't know what's on the horizon. But it's going to be good!

If you're not going to be available tomorrow morning, call in a donation to (800) 341-3690 this afternoon or this evening. We'd love to hear from you -- because, remember, you hear from us every day!

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.
