Dear Friend,

There’s nothing like breaking out the freshly sharpened pencils and crisp new composition books, is there? And with the beginning of a new school year upon us, now’s the perfect time to support WETA, YOUR home for lifelong learning and educational entertainment.

Show your “school” spirit for your local broadcasting station with a gift that will be DOUBLED thanks to a fantastic match opportunity from generous donors, up to $15,000, available this weekend only! We need 150 lifelong learners to step up this weekend to preserve WETA’s valuable programming—and to show our appreciation for your support, we’re thrilled to offer you an exclusive WETA water bottle to help you quench your thirst for knowledge! Stay hydrated while you're on the go, all while proudly showing your commitment to local public broadcasting.

Ready to start learning?

	Tap into your scientific side as the most perceptive detectives solve their most challenging cases yet in brand-new seasons of Unforgotten, Professor T and Van der Valk (binge-watch all three right now with WETA Passport!)
	Travel through history with our expansive Ken Burns Collection, soon to include his newest WETA co-production The American Buffalo.
	Brush up on your DC area geography with series that celebrate our unique local culture, like Get Out of Town, Signature Dish, If You Lived Here and WETA Arts.
	Support learning for our region's most vulnerable children through WETA PBS Kids and our early childhood education programs such as Ready to Learn.

Now let’s practice our arithmetic: thanks to generous donors, every contribution made this weekend will be matched.  That means your donation will make TWICE the impact on all your favorite WETA programs!

Spread the word to your classmates, colleagues and fellow knowledge enthusiasts, and let's finish this weekend with an A+!

Sincerely,

P.S. In addition to your exclusive WETA water bottle, you’ll gain access to WETA Passport—your streaming member benefit and cheat sheet for your favorite PBS and WETA programs! Right now, binge-watch new seasons of favorites like Unforgotten, Van der Valk and Professor T and coming soon, the return of World on Fire, Annika and Hotel Portofino!

Stay connected with WETA!
