25th Annual
UVA Children's Hospital Telethon
May 30-31, 2009
Adorable babies. Grateful parents. Dedicated doctors and nurses. A host of local TV personalities. Over one weekend, it all came together for the 25th annual UVA Children's Hospital Telethon.
This year's Telethon (and the 25th annual Walk for Kids preceeding the broadcast) raised more than $1.8 million. These funds will help support a new Children's Hospital expansion project, renovations in primary care, special programs for children and families, life-saving pediatric research, and toys and games for young patients.Since 1985, the UVA Children's Hospital Telethon has raised more than $20 million for patients and families. Each year, the event marks the culmination of generous annual giving by community businesses and friends who support children's healthcare. Broadcast locally by WVIR-TV NBC29, the two-day event is part of a national effort to raise funds for children's health.
