Democracy needs you. News needs you.
‘Let it Snow’ Dollars for Local News
“Oh, the weather outside is frightful…”
|
Those words from “Let It Snow!” are part of WHAV’s long heritage. Vaughn Monroe was the first artist to record the song and he sang it in person at opening of WHAV’s new studios this month 77 years ago. As WHAV News reported then, the baritone sang before a lobby of almost 300 screaming “bobby sockers.”
|
WHAV was founded by local news people and needs your support to continue this legacy of service. Until Dec. 31, new or increased contributions to WHAV are matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000 by NewsMatch. What’s more, new monthly donations are matched 12 times!
