EasterSeals

By: Nick Liard

The Easter Seals’ telethon will take to the airwaves for the 31st year this Sunday on Eastlink Channel 10.

Last year, $323,000 was raised across Northeastern Ontario.

Fundraising Specialist Cecilia Aparicio hopes for a similar number this year.

The Easter Seals’ telethon raises money to help pay for expensive equipment used by children with physical disabilities.

It also helps pay for them to go the Easter Seals summer camps.

Donations can be called in during Sunday’s telethon between 1-7pm or sent to www.eastersealstelethon.org
