The annual telethon raises money for Meeting Street, a Providence nonprofit that operates multiple schools in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts with the aim of providing "educational, therapeutic and developmental services" for children of all ages with disabilities and special needs.
It’s that time of year again as the 48th annual Meeting Street Telethon airs LIVE on WPRI-12 February 3rd at 7pm. Joining Brendan Kirby on The Rhode Home this morning to discuss further were NIROPE – Ron & Pete Cardi – along with John Kelly from Meeting Street.

This weekend marks the 45th annual Meeting Street Telethon with WPRI-12. Fun 107 has been thrilled to be a part of this important telethon. For years now, we ve kicked off the Telethon weekend with a Radiothon live from Sunrise Bakery and Coffee Shop in Dartmouth. When Manny Amaral and his sister Louise first heard about the Fun 107 Radiothon, they jumped right on it, inviting the morning show to broadcast from their Dartmouth Street location and agreeing to donate 50 percent of their sales while we were there.
We ve been going there each year since, and every year the Fun 107 audience has generously donated thousands to support the resources at the Schwartz School and Meeting Street.
