BenitoLink’s annual fundraiser known as the Pledge of Champions continues! As of Dec. 9, total community donations have reached $24,845!
Our Pledge of Champions fundraiser is held every fall and ends at midnight on Dec. 31.

Don’t miss this opportunity to double your donation from now until the end of the year!
BenitoLink is a nonprofit news website designed to serve the residents of San Benito County. Readers play an important role in the health of their own community news. Their support helps us continue reporting on local government, education, transportation, housing, and other important topics. A healthy, local news environment with a variety of information and sources is critical to small counties and towns such as San Benito County, Hollister, and San Juan Bautista.
Readers can show their support by donating to BenitoLink. During this important annual fundraiser, month donations made by new Sustaining Members can also be fully matched. Sustaining Members help provide year-round stability and financial support that helps sustain a lasting newsroom that can serve San Benito County residents for years to come.
