Please accept our sincere appreciation for your generous donation to support our COVID-19 coverage. We are most grateful for your commitment to helping our local news teams in this time of crisis.

Please keep this written acknowledgment of your donation for your tax records.

Your support comes at a critical time for our operation and helps us keep our reporters working tirelessly covering the impacts of COVID-19 and other news across Kansas. We have continued to keep our ongoing coronavirus coverage free, in an attempt to provide vital information to our entire community. This pandemic has touched the world in ways only previously imagined, including many local businesses like ours. The shutdown of local businesses has directly impacted revenue we receive in the form of advertising and events. These are critical sources for our operation.

Thank you again for your generous support of local news.

Sincerely,

Ned Seaton, Publisher
