The 49th annual Variety Show of Hearts Telethon is airing Saturday, Feb. 14 and Sunday, Feb. 15, on Global BC.
Beginning at 6 p.m. on Saturday, and winding up at 5 p.m. Sunday, the two-day show will feature stories of children in B.C. helped by Variety - The Children's Charity, concerts showcasing the music industry's biggest stars, and opportunities for viewers to engage with the show - including winning a new Ford Fiesta, according to a written statement.
The Show of Hearts Telethon is Variety's biggest fundraising event of the year, said Bernice Scholten, executive director of the organization, in the statement. Variety provides life-saving, life-changing and life-enriching support to children in B.C. who have special needs.
They see each child as a champion, capable of achieving remarkable success. The telethon is intended to salute the little victories of kids across the province and viewers are invited to celebrate with them, says Scholten.
