On Wednesday, Oct. 29, from 6-9 p.m., Natick Service Council (NSC) is hosting its 4th Annual “Neighbors Helping Neighbors Telethon,” which will be broadcast live on Natick Pegasus channels 3, 29 and 99 and can also viewed online by visiting the NSC website. This year’s telethon will be hosted by Jillian Vorce and Andy Meyer and feature local community groups who will be performing and helping to raise awareness and much needed funding for the organization.

The list of talent includes Rene Rancourt who will kick off the event by singing the National Anthem, Whyte School of Irish Step, Natick Drama Workshop, Jr. Redhawk Cheerleaders, the Johnson School Peacemakers and several others. In addition, live interviews will be held with community partners and on air-check presentations will take place with local businesses that have sponsored the event.

Over $120,000 has been raised since the first telethon and this year’s goal has been raised to $50,000 in order to meet the growing need for food and financial support in our community. Last year alone, NSC supported over 700 families in Natick with basic human needs.

Local businesses such as Brigham-Gill Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram have already stepped up and committed to supporting the event but more pledges are needed in order to reach the $50,000 goal. Local residents are encouraged to watch Pegasus and pledge by visiting or call during the show.
