🌿 Join The Celebration or Help Us Sponsor — Rooted in Community Fundraiser for Fogartyville
We have enjoyed many events at Fogartyville and thought it might be fun to be a sponsor as Sarasota Wine & Fun.
If WSLR+Fogartyville has ever informed you, inspired you, challenged your thinking, or helped you feel more connected here in Sarasota, this is a beautiful way to give back.
Rooted in Community is a night celebrating everything WSLR+Fogartyville brings to Sarasota: independent media, creativity, connection, and vibrant community spirit. This annual fundraiser supports WSLR+Fogartyville and The Beat Goes On Founders Fund, helping ensure the future of local journalism, community radio, and our shared creative space.

The Sower Sponsor level is all about planting meaningful seeds for the future of community-powered media. When many people step in at this level, it creates real stability, impact, and growth.
It’s one of the most powerful ways to support independent local media—and yes, it also happens to be an incredible night out.
