Over the Top!
Big thanks to all who pitched in to help KPTZ reach our goal so that we can continue broadcasting!
With results still trickling in, we’ve achieved a greater number of donations than usual – over $31,000 from our Fall Pledge Drive. Sustaining KPTZ and our services takes a lot of work from many people, and a fair bit of money too. The more the community gives, the more we can do. Job well done!
