Telethon 2021 a Success! Thank you to everyone who contributed to one of the most successful telethons ever hosted by Shriners Hospitals for Chil- dren-Erie. The medical center received over $25,000 in dona- tions on Tuesday, March 25, during the first virtual telethon! There were also many powerful stories shared, highlighting serv- ices and patients. In addition to the patient sto- ries that were shared on air, there were many stories of hope and healing that were shared by do- nors on the phones as well. It’s truly in credible to see how many lives have been touched by the staff of the medical center.
