Together, we give.

Matching Sponsor, PNC Bank, along with Supporting Sponsors, Centennial Securities and Pioneer Construction, will match up to $10,000 total in Giving Tuesday donations to support WGVU. Additionally, for each donation made, together, we will sponsor a field trip to a local children's museum or nature center for a preschool or kindergarten student in West Michigan! PLUS each student will receive a new picture book to take home. When we give together, we grow together!

Thank you!

"Huge thank you to WGVU Public Media and their Giving Tuesday fundraiser!  It is because of them and their Giving Tuesday supporters that our kindergarten students at Woodside Elementary in Holland, MI, were able to take an amazing field trip to the Holland Museum.  Even though our students live in Holland, they often don't have opportunities to visit places in our community. This field trip was filled with some fun facts about Holland's history and, most importantly, their Spark Lab where the children learned how to construct rockets and conduct many science experiments. The kids had so much fun and will remember the trip as a fond memory of kindergarten!"
– Corene O'Keefe, Kindergarten teacher at Woodside Elementary School

“Field trips are often one of the most memorable experiences in a young learner’s life, especially when it’s about dinosaurs. The excitement it brings and the opportunity for hands-on learning often stick with children for a long time and promotes curiosity. By providing funds for busing, WGVU Public Media and our West Michigan neighbors provide an opportunity for children, regardless of economic background, a chance to have the same experience without a cost to their families.”
– Patrick Horn, Lakeshore Museum Center Program Manager
