Donation
of Note


On December 18, 2003, Greater Ossining Telvision, (GO-TV), kicked off its first major fundraising campaign by receiving a $500 donation from the New Rochelle chapter of Habitat for Humanity, an international non-profit organization that helps to provide housing for people worldwide.
In an ironic twist of fate, the New Rochelle non-profit organization has been the first to come to the aid of GO-TV, which is in jeopardy of shutting down in 2004 due to lack of funding. In addition, GO-TV is in desperate need of financial aid for its quest to relocate to a downtown location and expand studio hours in order to better serve the public.
'Our organization has built quite a few homes here in Ossining, and we have come to know this community,' said Jim Killoran, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity in New Rochelle. 'This is a challenge grant for other local businesses to step up to the plate and help. We believe in helping to continue community organizations like GO-TV, because it’s such a great vehicle for the people of Ossining.'
GO-TV is currently is located in a tiny classroom at Ossining High School, with zero visibility to the community. The public studio hours are miniscule -- Wednesdays to Fridays, from 6:00 p. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
'In this season of giving, we are so grateful to Habitat for Humanity for this donation,' said Ann Le Clair, Treasurer of GO-TV. 'This is a clear indication that the local community really cares about its public access station, and we look forward to continued support so that we can better serve all the residents of Ossining.'
Habitat for Humanity International is a Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Founded by in 1976 Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliates in more than 3,000 communities in 92 nations have built and sold more than 150,000 homes to partner families with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages.
