"If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person."

-Fred Rogers-

Every gift to Pioneer TV is important – whether it’s a $30 membership or a $15 monthly commitment. They all play a role in bringing you outstanding television.

But there are a few of us who are blessed with the ability to do more. They have made a very special commitment that not only supports Pioneer’s mission, but expands it.

Members of the Cornerstone Builders group invest $1,000 or more each year in the work that Pioneer TV does in our many communities. That partnership in the Cornerstone Builders helps Pioneer TV produce local programs. It funds much of our educational outreach. These partners are:
