A Legacy of Support

A letter from the Director:

WYSU is inviting you to leave a Legacy of Support for your public radio station.

You can ensure WYSU will be here for future generations by providing for a charitable gift in your estate plans.

Your Legacy of Support will help provide long-term stability for the station’s public broadcasting service. Moreover, your planned gift to the station will demonstrate in a lasting fashion your commitment to supporting an essential cultural and community resource, the fine arts, Youngstown State University and the region as a whole.

It's easy to arrange your Legacy of Support for WYSU through a bequest in your will, trust, IRA designation, life insurance or other ways.

Please call me or our funding officer 330-941-1777 for more information or to discuss your planned gift to the station.

Thanks for considering leaving your Legacy of Support for 88.5 WYSU!

Sincerely,

Gary Sexton, Director
