WKAR Sustainer Barbara Richardson

WKAR Sustainer Barbara Richardson is the happy winner of the TV GetAway GiveAway to the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.   

The prize package includes a two-night stay at the Grand Hotel, where she can enjoy the hotel's old-world hospitality and charm, including formal meals in the main dining room and spectacular views of the Straits of Mackinac from the world's longest porch. 

Barbara Richardson of Lansing has been supporting WKAR since 1978.  She's deciding whether to visit Mackinac Island herself, or gift her amazing stay at the Grand Hotel to a dear family member! The TV GiveAway was part of a recent fundraising campaign that raised over $54,000 in support of quality television for mid-Michigan.
 

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer? Please consider upgrading your current monthly gift.
