Let’s Get Growing!
From your childhood to adulthood, we have been by your
side. You have grown with PBS North Carolina and your
generous support helps us grow, too. Thank you for ensuring
that local communities stay informed and connected and
providing resources to create and produce new shows.
Everything we do is possible because of you!
One of our greatest rewards is hearing from members whose
lives we touch, like Cassandra Nichols-Terry of Greensboro.
She recently shared, “On nights I couldn’t sleep with life’s
worries, even as an adult, PBS always kept me engaged in
something informative. From far-way places I can explore
right from my living room to great historical places to visit in
my own state of North Carolina, PBS has me covered. PBS is
a part of the family, because now my grandchildren get to
enjoy it as well. I will always support it! We love PBS!”
Like Cassandra, many of you have grown with PBS NC, as a
part of our family. We hope we can continue to earn your
generous support and grow together.
Ways You Can Help Today:
1. Look for an envelope
in your mailbox this
month and please
respond with a
generous gift or
contribute securely
online at pbsnc.org/annualfund.
2. Tune-in during our
next On-Air Fundraiser
from August 14-29.
Flip to page 12 or visit
pbsnc.org/specials for
more information.
3. Consider PBS North Carolina when making your will
or estate plans; learn more at pbsnclegacy.org; e-mail
giftplanning@pbsnc.org or call 877-485-3200.
4. Find all the ways you can generously support PBS North
Carolina, even by donating your car or boat or requesting
a matching gift from your employer, at pbsnc.org/support.
For vehicle donations just call 866-862-8855 toll-free or fill
out the form at pbsnc.org/vehicle.
Thank you for being such a valued member of our
PBS NC family.
