WGTE celebrates Giving Tuesday a little differently — and we hope you’ll join us!
Mark your calendars for our 12th Annual D.O.G. Day! 🐶💙

WGTE’s Day of Giving takes place on December 11, 2025, where we aim to raise more than $25,000 in just 24 hours. Every donation made to D.O.G. Day will be matched by the Clement O. Miniger Memorial Foundation, doubling your impact and helping us continue delivering the programs and services our region loves most.

If you choose to support WGTE today, your gift will still count toward D.O.G. Day, ensuring you don’t miss out on the generous match!

"When I was a kid, I used to watch PBS. I’d watch Sesame Street -- and I loved Jim Henson and all his puppets. I learned a lot. One of my favorite things was this little cartoon that taught me how to count to 12. It was really good music, really good animation, and it fired up my creativity like crazy. It inspired me and made me a better person.” —
