Be The One Athon

The Giving Challenge is an exciting 24-hour giving event that brings together more than 700 local nonprofits with passionate donors and community members to support causes and missions they care about while creating transformative impact. We’ve invited fellow nonprofits Community Harvest SRQ, Mosaic Movements, Sarasota Pops Orchestra, Support Our Schools, Truly Valued, and UnidosNow to be part of the telethon-style fun! Highlights of the Be The One-a-Thon include: 24 hours of live, local & independent radio Talk of the Town: A WSLR News Roundtable (irreverent edition) Telethon-themed Drink & Draw (with DJ Milo spinning vinyl) Poetry slam hosted by Bards By the Bay’s Bubba (Frank) Henson The Sandbox All Stars WSLR’s Synthworld dance party with Flashback Frequencies WSLR’s Lumpytunes! Live: Sonic Tsunami 2 Cafecito yoga with live musicians (courtesy of UnidosNow) Sarasota Pops Orchestra performance and YOU! We hope you’ll tune in to WSLR and stop by Fogartyville anytime (even 2 a.m.!) during the Be The One-a-Thon. And remember to give to WSLR+Fogartyville as part of the 2026 Giving Challenge. Every individual donation between $25-$100 will be matched! The 2026 Giving Challenge is presented by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County with giving strengthened by The Patterson Foundation.
