  • Record-Breaking Channel Seven Telethon Has Been Studded with Highlights That Tug on the Heart Strings and Set the Adrenaline Racing
    RECORD TELETHON 2014 RAISES A STAGGERING $25,271,542 A record-breaking Channel Seven Telethon has been studded with highlights that tug on the heart strings and set the adrenaline racing. Headline performances from Perth’s The X Factor contestant Reigan Derry on the opening night and a host of Australian entertainers got big crowds at the Perth Entertainment and Convention Centre up on their feet, while the plucky Little Telethon stars, seven year-old Emily Prior and 10 year-old Patrick Majewski charmed audiences everywhere. The amazing 26 hours live-on-air weekend saw more than 300 TV production crew at work; more than 200 lights; 60 plus microphones; 55 hair and make-up artists; more than 600 entertainers; 100 Virgin Australia flights and more than 1,000 volunteers which made the Telethon weekend the most successful ever. There were plenty of major donations from the big end of town, but as always it was the generosity of the people of Western Australia that shone through the most in the huge 2014 total of $25,271,542 raised over the weekend compared to last year’s $20.7 million and brings the total raised since 1968 to $179,778,436 Prime Minister Tony Abbott committed a Federal Government donation of $1 million. Premier Colin Barnett handed over a cheque for $500,000 from the State Government on behalf of all West Australians. Party goers at The Lexus Ball raised an unbelievable $700,000 which included the sale of the Solid Gold pendant designed with the Little Telethon stars Emily and Patrick - but the weekend belonged to Emily Prior and Patrick Majewski, who stole the audiences hearts.
