Thank you to all who participate in this year's online auction. Your bids raised more than $5800.
Access Tucson would also like to thank the many individuals, local businesses, restaurants, artists, authors and non-profit organizations who showed their support for community media by donating a catalog of goods and services worth more than $12,500 (see below for a list of our wonderful donors with links to their websites). Without you, the auction would not have been possible.
Through the support of people like you, Access Tucson Community Media is continuing to protect and support freedom of speech in Tucson and Pima County. We are proud that we have been able to maintain this important resource while dealing with ongoing funding challenges.
The online auction is only one of our many fundraising activities. As you make your year-end donations, please consider giving to Access Tucson. Your donations are tax-deductible for this year if made by December 31, 2012.
