It is with sincere gratitude that we take this opportunity, on behalf of everyone at Variety – the Children’s Charity, to thank Vernon for your incredible support of our 48th annual Show of Hearts Telethon.
Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise $6,671,138 to help families with children who have special needs, both in Vernon and across B.C.
The funds raised will go towards providing life-saving, life-changing and life-enriching support to children who face daunting challenges every day.
Whether it’s a power wheelchair that gives a five-year-old girl with cerebral palsy the gift of mobility, a bursary to a special school that gives a 10-year-old boy the confidence to learn and excel, or emergency transportation to an out-of-community hospital that gives B.C.’s most fragile babies the best chance possible right from the start, donations to Variety make a difference in the lives of thousands of children every year.
Families helping families, it’s what builds and sustains communities now and well into the future. Thank you for showing your hearts to children who have special needs.
