As the holiday season approaches, it's the perfect time to think about giving back to our community. One way to do that is by supporting public television in Oklahoma.
OETA is a vital part of the Oklahoma landscape, providing educational, cultural, and public affairs programming to the entire state. From its arts and culture show "Gallery America", local history programming with "Back in Time", to its extensive coverage of local news and events with the "Oklahoma News Report", OETA plays a crucial role in connecting Oklahomans to their communities and to the world.
But OETA needs your support to continue its important work. As a nonprofit organization, OETA relies on donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations to fund its operations and create high-quality local programming. Every dollar you give helps OETA bring you the programs you love and helps the station continue to serve as a vital resource for the state.
And during this holiday season, your support is especially crucial. End-of-year giving is an important time for OETA, as many people make charitable donations to support the causes they care about. By choosing to support OETA, you can make a real difference in the quality of public television in Oklahoma and help ensure that the station can continue to provide valuable programming for years to come.
So this holiday season, consider making a donation to OETA. Your support will help the station continue to create quality local programming and serve as a vital resource for the entire state. And by giving back, you'll be helping to make a positive impact on your community and on the lives of your fellow Oklahomans. Thank you for your support of OETA and for making a difference in the lives of your fellow Oklahomans.
