Be Our Neighbor

Hi, neighbors. Our fall pledge drive is here, and we’re asking you to Be Our Neighbor—because public radio is built on community. And community is built on neighbors, like you.

Throughout the month of October, we’re inviting you to help us build Mo Ray’s Neighborhood. Pick up a neighborhood block at one of our participating community partners, add it to our growing neighborhood, and you’ll have a chance to win the Tony Armeni Cohasset Express Train Set!

Here's how to join Mo Ray's Neighborhood:

1. Take a Block: pick up a neighborhood block from one of our partnered locations (Westside Bowl, Birdfish Brewing Co., Modern Methods, Branch Street Coffee Roasters, Trek Coffee House, and Culture House Coffee).

2. Make it Your Own: decorate your block to represent your home or favorite place in Youngstown.

3. Return Your Block to WYSU: drop your block off at or mail it back to the station to join our neighborhood.

Your finished block will be featured on the WYSU website for our community to vote on. The submission with the most votes will win our Tony Armeni Cohasset Express Train Set! Just want to join the neighborhood? No problem! Entering the contest is optional.

Submissions can be mailed to :
WYSU, ATTN: Anne Vallas
1 Tressel Way

Youngstown, OH 44555

For any questions, email anvallas@ysu.edu or call 330.941.1777

And remember to follow along on social media! @wysu88.5fm on Instagram and Facebook.
