Since 1989, the Foundation (in cooperation with RBTV) has held a Telethon that has become the Foundation's premiere annual fundraising event. The Telethon is broadcast on RBTV, the school's educational television network. This fundraiser owes its success to hundreds of dedicated volunteers - students, alumni, community members, teachers, staff and friends - who have made the Telethon an RB tradition. In addition to talented performers, the event has featured celebrities including Chicago radio and TV personalities, nationally recognized entertainment, and municipal, state and federal officials. In its first year, the Telethon was awarded a John Cotton Dana Library Public Relations Award, the only high school event in the country to receive this prestigious honor. The Telethon is held every year in the spring.

Six RBTV students received Crystal Pillar nominations for TV projects they produced in their Media Arts Classes. The Crystal Pillar nominations were presented by NATAS (the National Academy of TV Arts & Sciences) at the recent high school video awards held in Naperville. The nominees were seniors Sam Egan and Jake O'Brien for their sports talk show CrossOver Sports, Sam Egan, Jake O'Brien, and junior Matt Morgan for LIVE EVENT Sport Coverage, Bulldog Basketball. Junior Makayla Angshed was nominated for her News Package Dusty Groove and for her Music Video Busy, and Sophomore Liam Hickey for his Talk Show The Fantasy Rundown. Winning Crystal Pillars were Sam Egan and Jake O'Brien for their Sports Talk Show CrossOver Sports, and Sam Egan, Jake O'Brien, and junior Matt Morgan for LIVE EVENT Sport Coverage, Bulldog Basketball.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ RBTV students won additional awards at the same festival from MMEA (The Midwest Media Educators Association).
