We love sharing the wonders of Michigan and the Greater Lansing area with our viewers on WKAR-TV. Check out these specials! | Give Now Here

You may have noticed that WKAR's fundraising campaign began on Thursday. We're trying something new this year. Instead of having our regular 16-day campaigns four times a year, we are hoping to have those events go only eleven days.

You might say, "Don't you need the money?" and the answer is "Yes! We do!" Our goal is to do a better job of reaching out to more WKAR viewers with the opportunity to become WKAR supporters -- making WKAR and public broadcasting stronger in our community.

"I've been a supporter since I was a student here at Michigan State."

"I am a huge fan of your morning host, Melissa. I wake up to her every morning."

As of Tuesday, March 6, at 10:45 a.m., WKAR-TV's Pledge Madness total is 50,979!

Thanks to those who have called or made an online gift! If you haven't -- there's no better time right HERE!

Tonight on WKAR, we have "TransSiberian Orchestra: The Birth of Rock" (8 p.m.), "Tony Bennett: Duets 2" (9:00)!

Join us in our upcoming Pledge Madness, March 3-18 on WKAR-TV, by being a telephone volunteer.

We're recruiting volunteers to answer phones during this event. If you are interested in volunteering, please give WKAR Membership a call at (517) 432-3120, ext. 374 or email membership@wkar.org.

We need phone operators evenings and weekends from Saturday, March 3 through Sunday, March 18. Let us hear from you!

WKAR was selected by members of the University Club of MSU to compete in their "Big Bang-Quet" $10,000 Community Charity Challenge. WKAR is one of 26 mid-Michigan organizations asking the public for their votes to help us win a $10,000 credit towards a fundraising event held in the University Club's newly renovated dining room.

The program is conducted by the University Club of MSU in conjunction with the Capital region Community Foundation (CRCF) and sponsored by the MSU Federal Credit Union.

As a WKAR-TV member, you don't simply watch public television programs.

You help WKAR produce, purchase and broadcast programs you care about and enjoy -- every day of the year! Your gift makes it all possible.

Consider joining the select group of companies and organizations who partner with WKAR each year.

Volunteering for WKAR is a great way to meet new people and help support your public broadcasting stations!

Gifts to WKAR are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Until December 31, 2011 gifts to public broadcasting are eligible for a State of Michigan Tax Credit. The credit expires on December 31, 2011.

Are you looking for new ways to protect your family and your money?

Would you like to cut estate taxes and probate costs, too?

Would you like to remember WKAR in your estate plans?

A personal trust may be the answer for you. It can be the ideal solution when you would like to make a gift to WKAR, but first must satisfy your own family's financial needs.

Personal trusts let you have it both ways -- passing assets to your heirs with the least amount of tax, while making a future gift to WKAR.
