CALL-FROM-HOME PHONE-A-THON... CALL-FROM-HOME PHONE-A-THON Members of Scholarship Foundation of East Providence announce that volunteers will be calling residents in March for donations for scholarships for local students. High school students, current and past scholarship recipients and their families, and members of the scholarship fund will take part in the annual fundraising event, held virtually this year. “The phone-a-thon is our longest-running and most successful fundraiser,” notes Scholarship Foundation President Joseph Durand. Since the Scholarship Foundation’s other annual events were cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions, this year’s phone-a-thon is even more important. Last year, more than $100,000 was raised at the phone-a-thon. To protect volunteers, callers will not assemble at a central location as they have in the past. Instead, volunteers will make calls to residents from the safety of their own homes during the week of Sunday, March 7 to Saturday, March 13.
