HALIFAX: For the first time, the IWK Foundation is hosting a weekend of giving to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the IWK Telethon for Children and 40 years of Maritime generosity.
To recognize this incredible milestone, the IWK Radiothon, IWK Telethon Live Tribute Show, and IWK Telethon for Children will take place over one weekend, from May 31 to June 2.
Tune in, donate, and celebrate during this special weekend that will raise much-needed funds for the IWK while sharing patient family stories, celebrating donor generosity, reflecting on the past 40 years, and looking towards the future of children’s health.
