MONDAY
This morning at 11, a WCAT crew will travel to Woburn with The Room to Write’s Founder (and WCAT Board Member) Colleen Getty to film Getty’s interview with philanthropist Bill Cummings. Cummings and his wife Joyce established the Cummings Foundation in 1986. In 2011, they signed “The Giving Pledge” reflecting their desire to donate substantially all of their
wealth to charity.
