BUZZ Watch Party starring Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center 900 506 Michael Hemphill

BUZZ Watch Party starring Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center

Join us June 24 at Big Lick Brewery to preview and celebrate our newest BUZZ starring Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center! Meet some of the center’s feathered, furry and scaly ambassadors starting 5:30 pm. The show starts at 6:00 and will end by 6:30. It airs at 7:00 on Blue Ridge PBS.



About the show:

There is a 3-acre nonprofit in Roanoke County, Virginia, that may be the most bio-diverse in the world. On any given day animals belonging to nearly 300 species call this place home. They arrive abandoned, neglected, injured, near dead. They leave either rehabilitated to return to nature or as ambassadors to teach that most troublesome species of all — us humans — how to better live with them.

On this BUZZ, not only do we feature this amazing nonprofit, we provide it with some marketing assets courtesy of animal lover Carrie Cousins of LeadPoint Digital that, like the creatures it cares for, are absolutely wild.

We thank the Robertson Family Foundation for underwriting our production costs for this episode!

BUZZ Watch Party stars Angels of Assisi

Join us at the historic Grandin Theatre on Nov. 19 at 6:00 pm ET to celebrate our newest BUZZ starring Angels of Assisi! Event is free. Doors open 5:30 pm.

Founded in 2001 as just a mobile clinic, the animal welfare nonprofit Angels of Assisi in 2025 moved into a new multimillion dollar facility in downtown Roanoke to better serve pets … and the humans who love them! Along with an adoption center and farm sanctuary, Angels of Assisi offers a community pet clinic, rural veterinary care, cruelty investigations, disaster response, and a safety net program for those needing temporary help due to domestic violence or emergency situations.

Rather than deservedly resting on their hind legs, Angels of Assisi seeks to continue its pawsitive momentum by fetching more community support. BUZZ retrieves our good friends from Wordsprint to provide pro bone-o marketing resources that are sure to be the cat’s meow.
