Royal nuptials aren't the only thing kicking off tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. That's also when Time Warner Cable and News 14 Carolina begin their telethon to raise money for American Red Cross tornado recovery efforts in North Carolina.

Who needs Will and Kate when you can call and maybe chat with NASCAR legends Richard Petty and Jimmie Johnson, or retired Tar Heel announcer Woody Durham? All while helping an extremely good cause.

UNC-TV is joining WRAL's Here to Help Disaster Relief Telethon, which will simulcast on both stations Wednesday, April 20, from 7 to 8 p.m.

The telethon will raise money to help North Carolinians devastated by Saturday's tornadoes. In addition to the evening telethon, phone lines will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday (call 1-800-424-9725) and donations can also be made securely online.

All money donated will fund relief missions now underway by the Triangle Red Cross, Samaritan’s Purse, the North Carolina Baptist Men’s Association and the Salvation Army of Wake County.

Programming note: 'Nightly Business Reoprt,' which usually airs on UNC-TV at 7 p.m., will air at 1:30 a.m. instead.
