A Steadfast Friend By necessity, many of us are staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. This allows time for reflection and for doing things we’ve put off. We are grateful to the individuals who realize that now, more than ever, a legacy to UNC-TV benefits our entire state by bringing education home for students, emergency communications for NC and, of course, entertaining escapes for you. During this time, friends from Mt. Holly to Greensboro and Nantahala to the Outer Banks connected with us to add UNC-TV to their estate plan. For more information regarding a legacy gift in support UNC-TV, please visit unctvgift.org, email giftplanning@unctv.org, or call 877-485-3200.

We’re adapting and strengthening our public services. We are built for this moment and we’ll persevere because, ultimately, our work is about caring for each other. Here’s how you can help. When you see this envelope in your mailbox, please respond with your gift by mail or contribute securely online at unctv.org/urgent. Your special donation helps to sustain UNC-TV in the coming weeks as we redouble our efforts to sustain you in these extraordinary times.
