Dear Steadfast Friend, It’s been over a year since we began working from home due to the pandemic. We are grateful for this time to reflect and focus on what matters most. We are thankful for the PBS NC programming that takes us on inspiring journeys, through our beautiful state, to far corners of the world. We’re indebted to the individuals who realized that a legacy gift benefits the entire state. Our visionary supporters have kept us going since the 1950s and will help us into 2021 and beyond; they understood how vital public media is to all of us. For more information regarding a legacy gift in support of PBS North Carolina, please visit pbsnclegacy.org, email giftplanning@pbsnc.org or call 877-485-3200.
New Beginnings, Fresh Optimism The past year has been unlike any other in our lifetime but PBS North Carolina has remained by your side. As partners in this great public media enterprise, we’ve redoubled our commitment to spark lifelong curiosity, empower our communities and enrich the lives of all North Carolinians. The return to normalcy has begun and hope springs eternal. Soon, we’ll start a new fiscal year, with a new annual plan to deliver on the power and potential of public media. But first, we must close the books on this very challenging year. June 30 is the final day of our fiscal year. We need every member to do their part in the final weeks of our Countdown Campaign. Please send your special gift to PBS NC when you see this envelope, or donate online at pbsnc.org/countdown. From all of us at PBS North Carolina, thank you being a valued member of our public media family.
