Let’s get right to the point. The Hardwick Gazette’s summer fundraiser is underway. This is the time for you to step forward and donate to the newspaper you depend on, the only news outlet that covers the 11 communities in our area.
The Gazette is here for you each and every week, delivering the news and information you need to know.
Will you be here for The Gazette right now?
Our motto, “Real reporting on real news by real people,” is reflected in every Gazette story and on every page.
Your need to be informed is our primary mission. Whether it’s a front page story about a select board meeting, a profile of a local resident, local school sports, coverage of the arts and entertainment scene, an opinion page featuring the thoughts of your friends and neighbors or a comprehensive listing of events happening in the area, The Gazette is all about delivering community news to you and your neighbors.
The loyal support of Gazette readers is why The Gazette exists today. It wouldn’t be possible any other way.
If you receive our newsletter every week and learn things you didn’t know, please become a partner in this community endeavor.
The Gazette is an irreplaceable resource. Help keep it that way and make it even stronger.
A generous Gazette donor has created a $5,000 matching fund for this campaign. Every donation of $120 or more will be matched. Your gift will go that much farther, and will return to you every week with the news you rely on. If you donate $120, it turns into $240. If you donate $250, it becomes $500.
If you become a sustaining reader at $10 a month, your gift will be doubled for the first full year.
Please visit The Gazette’s “Donate” page* and make your commitment to this vital source of news and information. Hundreds of your neighbors have already done so.
Please join them in building a sustainable news source our communities deserve.
Donate at givebutter.com/HardwickGazette.
Write to [email protected] if you’ve donated $120 or more this year and would like the gift of our special edition Hardwick Gazette mug.
