Pledges wanted: 2022 CTV Lions Children’s Christmas Telethon
You can watch the telethon and enjoy the entertainment from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m. online and from 4:30 to 11:00 p.m. live on CTV television stations and CTV satellite.
“At present, a committee is formed to find ways of spending whatever excess funds are raised at the telethon if and when they become available. Once it is agreed by the coordinating council of Lions Clubs in the Sudbury area that the money is spent on something to benefit children.” The shipments come gift-wrapped with stickers identifying the gender and age range. From there, the lions and other volunteers will group gifts based on each needy family adding their address for delivery.
Help wanted Khoury would like to thank all the people, groups and companies who participate in helping the telethon. “It's a wonderful thing,” he said. Sponsors are recognized with their company logo on the sponsor's page with a link to their site, with larger contributions presented live on TV during the telethon.
“You know, sometimes, I can’t even answer the phones when a call comes in when you hear mothers or fathers crying over the phone for their kids. You don't know how it is until you go into it and feel it.”
