CELEBRATING THE GOOD WORKS 

NCPR will recognize the work of dozens of nonprofit organizations across the Adirondack North Country with music and conversation, as well as shout-outs to groups hosting special events and parties on this first (annual, perhaps) celebration of the work being done by health, civic, economic, culture, arts, education, environment, and media nonprofits.

This broadcast event has emerged from the work of the Adirondack Community Trust, the Adirondack Nonprofit Network (A.N.N., an informal network of leaders from organizations throughout the Adirondacks), and North Country Public Radio, which is serving as the media link for nonprofits across the region.

We are celebrating the diversity and depth of contributions made by nonprofits to the quality of life in our communities.
