“You just feel like you’re helping out humanity and then on top of that you’re bringing so much joy to the kids when they wake up and being able to make the community a happier place is just a wonderful gift,” said Charlie Burke, the Vice President of Swift Glass Company.
The live telethon was broadcasted on 18 news from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. During the live telethon, there were music performances, live donation reads, and even organizations donating on live tv.
