Voices of the Mountains: A 5-Year Celebration for Mountain State Spotlight

This birthday fundraiser is our way of saying thank you and a way to continue raising vital support for local, independent journalism.
About this Event

Mountain State Spotlight is celebrating a major milestone and we want you to be part of it! 🎉

Mountain State Spotlight is turning 5 years old, and we’re throwing a party to celebrate with you!

Join us for an evening of gratitude, mingling, and celebration as we reflect on five years of watchdog journalism in West Virginia and look ahead to the future. This event is also a fundraiser to help ensure our work can continue, grow, and serve communities across the state.

What to expect:

-Delicious hors d’oeuvres and drinks provided by local vendors

-A welcoming space to connect with other supporters of local journalism

-Opportunities to learn more about our work and impact

All vendors, entertainment, and the venue are proudly sourced from local small businesses because just like our journalism, this event is rooted in West Virginia. As we confirm our incredible partners, we’ll share more details here.
