We hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day yesterday and that you spent the day with someone special. Now how about showing some love to your favorite Bronx blog?

Our campaign ends this Friday, and we’re reaching out to you, our dedicated readers, who visit the BxNN blog every day. We know our goal to raise $10,000 is ambitious, but we also know how much it will help our programs in 2011.

Some of you may read the blog as part of your job, and some of you read us because you love living and working in the Bronx, and you like having a place to visit on the web that gathers great information and high-quality news about the Bronx.

You may have noticed by now, there is no other organization that does what we do. And we don’t just run this blog. We have a great youth journalism program and we publish two bilingual community newspapers, covering local news that gets overlooked by other media organizations.

We have big plans for the future, but we can’t do it alone. We need your support. So, please, donate to the Bronx News Network and keep our programs thriving, including this blog, in 2011.
