On Wednesday, June 24th, 88.5 WFDD held a special reception for the
partner organizations from its Spring 2009 H.E.L.P. campaign. H.E.L.P.
(Hunger, Environment, Literacy, and providing a Place to live), was
created to demonstrate that in a difficult economy, even small
contributions can have a far-reaching impact. WFDD partnered with four
area nonprofit organizations serving specific needs to raise awareness
and, through the generosity of The Law Offices of Timothy D. Welborn, to
provide some additional funds.
The participating nonprofits were The Hunger and Health Coalition in
Watauga County; Piedmont Land Conservancy; Buffalo Creek Literacy
Project, serving Stokes and Surry Counties; and Habitat for Humanity of
Forsyth County, of Watauga County, and of High Point, Archdale, and
Trinity.
During WFDD's Spring pledge drive, donors contributing at a certain
level had the option to trigger an additional gift to one of four other
community organizations, thanks to The Law Offices of Timothy D.
Welborn. 100% of the donors' contributions remain with WFDD and provide
a significant portion of the station's operating budget. Contributions
to the participating nonprofits were awarded by The Law Offices of
Timothy D. Welborn at the reception on June 24th.
