WGBY Public Television is holding a fundraising event - August 18, 2008
This Old House hosts Kevin O’Connor and Tom Silva, in town for the taping of a segment for the show’s upcoming fall season, will be on hand for a special reception to benefit WGBY at the ReStore Home Improvement Center in downtown Springfield August 27 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Broadcast in High Definition, This Old House can be seen Thursdays at 8 p.m. on WGBY.
Tickets for the event are $25 and may be purchased by logging on to www.wgby.org/TOH or call by calling 1-800-838-3006. All proceeds will benefit WGBY’s programs and services.
“WGBY public television for Springfield and western New England is proud to partner with ReStore to help promote the upcoming series and future events,” said WGBY General Manager Russell J. Peotter.
“As part of our mission to connect the people of our region with ideas, events and each other we are pleased to have this opportunity to inform viewers about building green and ReStore’s important work in protecting the environment while providing affordable building materials to the community,” he added.
Preceding the benefit event, O’Connor and Silva will be filming part of their next season at a Habitat for Humanity site in the Springfield area. The site is using recovered material taken from a 1900 square foot home in Weston, MA, that was dismantled in April by ReStore. This Old House crews filmed the ReStore’s deconstruction work that will also be included in the series, which is scheduled to premier this October.
“We are honored to have the hosts of one of the most popular PBS programs come to Springfield to not only bring awareness to recycling and green building, but also to help us in supporting public television in western New England,” said Charley Rose, WGBY Director of Corporate Support and Special Events.
WGBY (www.wgby.org), a community supported public broadcasting organization, connects the people of western New England to events, ideas and each other through national PBS programming and locally produced series and specials. With an additional four digital television channels, video on demand, podcasting and streaming video, WGBY is one of the region’s most accessible community institutions, providing lifelong learning opportunities for all. |
