Our 2026 Donors

Local news is now an integral part of Weston’s story — and so are you. Our new donation tiers reflect the history that shaped this town, and the donors behind them carry that legacy forward. We’re grateful for every one of you and thank you for “keeping up the good news.”

Not yet a donor? Keep an eye out for a new matching campaign beginning November 1, a good time to consider supporting the Observer!

Please let us know if you would like your name listed differently or if your name is missing below. Thank you!
