Adorable babies. Grateful parents. Dedicated doctors and nurses. A host of local TV personalities. Over one weekend, it all comes together for the annual UVA Children's Hospital Telethon.
This year's Telethon (and the 26th annual Walk for Kids preceding the broadcast) culminated a year of annual events and giving - with the final total of more than $1.3 million. These funds will support a new Children's Hospital outpatient facility, 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 celebrated annual fund gifts totaling 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.
