WBUR has hosted an annual gala — our premiere fundraising event — for 23 years.

In 2025, we’re mixing things up! 

 

The WBUR Anniversary Bash: 75 Years of Life Out Loud celebrates 75 years of local journalism in Boston and those who have made it possible. A dinner and reception within The WBUR Festival weekend, the Anniversary Bash will raise critical funds to support WBUR throughout the year.

 

Proceeds will support the journalism that is the cornerstone of our democracy — that provides people with the information they need to make decisions for themselves and for the country. Because this journalism is at risk.

 

Rapidly changing media consumption habits have contributed to funding challenges for media

organizations. Local newsrooms are shrinking or even closing. Today, 20% of people in the United States live in a news desert or in a community at risk of becoming one.

 

WBUR has one of the strongest local newsrooms in the country and is a leader in the public radio system. While other newsrooms have pulled back, we have doubled down on our journalism.
