Yes, it’s over. And we did win.

Not the election, silly. Well, that’s over, too. But we’re talking about  the Daily Yonder’s Fifth Anniversary Campaign. That’s what’s over, and it was a success thanks to all of you.

A month ago, we set a goal of raising $25,000 to help the Yonder over the next year. As of late yesterday afternoon (before the polls closed), we have raised $26,750, 123 different gifts.

From everyone here at the Yonder and the Center for Rural Strategies, we thank you. You are all generous and kind — and talented. Several splendid readers donated their skills at dancing, sports, horticultural history and more as premiums.

To celebrate, click on the slideshow at the top of this page and listen to The Daily Yonder theme song, written and performed by Tim Marema and Liz McGeachy. Their tune says it all.

Many gifts were given anonymously. But others allowed their names to be listed publicly. Here, with gratitude and pride, are our donors — old friends and new. (It’s not too late to add your name!)
