JACKSON, Tenn.—The 42nd Annual Circles of Hope Telethon happens in the Hub City.
The annual telethon is a huge fundraiser for the Exchange Club Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse. The event kicked off at 1pm Sunday at the Civic Center.

The telethon is aired live right here on WBBJ ABC 7, as well as livestreamed on Facebook.
