Otis Twelve’s Final Drive

Support Otis Twelve’s Legacy

For nearly two decades, Otis Twelve has been the voice of KVNO and classical music in Omaha. Otis helped build KVNO into the thriving station it is today. And we need your help to continue his work.

This Fall Fund Drive, we’re giving Otis the retirement sendoff he deserves. Honor his legacy with an online donation. With your support, we can continue providing barrier-free classical music for all. We can keep investing in local programs and local hosts. And we can expand our reporting in the Omaha arts community.

A donation takes only minutes, but your impact lives on. Click here to be our next new sustaining donor.
