Easterseals Telethon Raises $912K for Local Disability Services
The 49th annual Easterseals Telethon raised $912,065 for the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center, which serves about 5,000 individuals with disabilities across a 31-county area in Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois. The telethon aired live from the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center in Evansville, with ABC 25 and CW 7 donating production and airtime. All proceeds will fund inclusive early education and essential therapy services for children and adults with disabilities. The event featured stories from Easterseals ambassadors and included a declaration by Mayor Stephanie Terry, naming April 17 as 'Easterseals Day' in Evansville.
