The Janeway Foundation officially launched its Telethon fundraising season with an event at Peacock Primary in Happy Valley-Goose Bay this morning.
It’s the first time the annual fundraiser has been launched in Labrador and Telethon Manager Ruth Squires says they couldn’t be more excited.
The annual telethon raises money for important equipment for the Janeway Children’s Hospital in St. John’s which serves the entire province.
The 39th annual Janeway Children’s Miracle Network Telethon will be broadcast on NTV on June 3 and 4.
This year’s goal is $2.5 million to purchase highly specialized pieces of surgical and diagnostic imaging equipment.
