Last year, countless people like you lent a

hand to support PBS39 through our Calendar

Year-End Campaign by becoming a member,

PBS39 is kicking 2015 off even stronger than

last year which is a direct result of the

generosity of people like you.

To us, you're more than a supporter:

you're our family.

And as family, you deserve to know how your

support will contribute to PBS39 and to our

community. Not only will we reinvest your

support into the quality programs that you

know and love, but we will strengthen PBS39’s

educational and community outreach services

so that PBS39 has an even greater impact on

strengthening and improving the Greater

Lehigh Valley.

2015 is going to be an exciting year for our

station and it is all because of you and our

family of supporters who share our belief that

quality programming not only entertains,

educates, and inspires a community, but, most

importantly betters a community.
