DON'T MISS: First Ever RI Influencers Charity Cocktail Gala - Feb. 23

990WBOB cordially invites our readers and listeners to attend the first-ever Influencers Charity Cocktail Gala, to be held February 23rd, to honor 9 Influencers to Watch in 2017. All proceeds for the event, to be held on February 23 at Cucina Rustica in Cranston, will be donated to Potter League for Animals.

​​After 990WBOB's Board of Directors poured through dozens of potential candidates from the arts, humanities, media, sports, and community, we identified 8 individuals as significantly noteworthy, and representative of the potential for great accomplishment in the coming year – and beyond. For the 9th slot, however, we gave our valued readers and listeners a choice to weigh in with their own choices... and boy did they respond in droves! (Vote Here)
