He pulled it off

Posted

Bob Venturini held the 21st annual Victor Venturini Toys for Tots Telethon Tuesday at the Warwick Mall Food Court, collecting hundreds of toys and donations for the program run by the Marines Corps Reserves. While Venturini was cheerful and full of stories, as always, in front of the cameras, he came close to canceling the telethon that does so much to highlight the drive. Venturini spent about 80 days in and out of the hospital after infection set in following a knee operation. Only in the last month was he back on his feet, connecting with community groups and companies that collect the toys that make the drive successful and to pull off the live telethon.
