Jerry Lewis Telethon

The Annual Jerry Lewis Telethon is broadcast nationally over Labour Day weekend, with volunteers taking calls from thousands of Canadians who tune in every year and pledge their financial support. It’s an opportunity to learn more about neuromuscular disorders and some of the people affected by them, while also enjoying a variety of entertainment.

Proceeds from the telethon will go towards Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s research and support programs. Call 1-866-MUSCLE-8 to make a donation.

Please refer to your weekly cable listing to determine which station will be providing telethon coverage in your area; some communities may receive only a portion of the full program.
