Ritter Communications is pleased to announce it will once again sponsor the annual Radio/Cablethon live from Blytheville, Ark. on Friday, April 10, and Saturday, April 11.

In its 35th year, the radio/cablethon raises money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, one of the world’s premier centers for the research and treatment of childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases. The event will be held at the Blytheville High School auditorium, where performances will be showcased for a live audience.

Ritter is celebrating its eighth year of involvement with the event, which will be broadcast live on Saturday, April 11 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The cablethon will air in Northeast Arkansas on Ritter cable channel 21 and in West Tennessee on Ritter cable channel 11. Donations may be pledged by calling 870-824-2020 or 1-855-824-2020.

The Ritter team also raises money throughout the year for the cause. Led by Ritter’s local content manager, Marcus Carlton, a team plans for months for the production of the cablethon.

“Giving back is as the heart of our community commitment to be ‘Right by You’,” said Jane Marie Woodruff, Director of Marketing. “We can’t think of a better organization than St. Jude to partner with in making a difference in the lives of children. We consider it a privilege to assist in raising money to find cures, save children and help families regardless of their ability to pay.”
