So what is WHRO?

 WHRO is a non-profit public broadcasting station here in Virginia, serving Hampton roads with both radio and television. WHRO was founded in 1961 and has become more and more popular as PBS had come about. All of us remember growing up watching Sesame Street right? If it wasn't for public broadcasting there might not be an Elmo! Not only does WHRO create both radio and television but they also provide many educational services. Not only for younger kids but also for people looking to get graduate credit in college. They have online courses and hands on workshops. WHRO is really here for the public to serve them with every educational need. The thing is, public broadcasting is not cheap. Everything cost money and money doesn't grow on trees. Since WHRO is a non-profit organization, they relay a lot of the helps of volunteers to help get things done. They also relay a lot on us, the people to help contribute, monthly or yearly...or sometimes just make that one time donation. Every penny counts, which mean every penny adds up. Sometimes there are big time donors who contribute a substantial amount and then there are some people who only donate twenty dollars. No matter how much or how little, that money is put towards creating the best public broadcasting they can.
