A thank you note from your GVLtoday team

GVLtoday Support Local Media Campaign
Table of Contents

A couple of weeks ago, we took you behind the scenes to share how things were going at GVLtoday and asked our readers if they would be willing to make a small contribution to help support our work.

As of today, over 450 of you have stopped what you were doing to send over some love and appreciation. In addition to the $11,000+ dollars contributed, what tickled us the most were the words of encouragement, affirmation, and recognition.

So today, we want to say thank you. We are sincerely grateful for your support and we couldn’t do this without you.

Please keep in touch. Send us an email at hello@GVLtoday.com or drop us a message on social, and we look forward to seeing you every morning right here in your inbox.
