CORNWALL, Ontario – The annual Carefor Hospice Telethon will be taking place this Saturday, Nov. 6 on YourTV Cogeco channel 11.
Taking place from noon to 6 p.m. the event will feature live entertainment from local artists including Tommy Heatley, Virginia Dipierro, Katie Ditschun, Mike McNanny and more.

The Hospice Telethon is the biggest fundraiser of the year for them and Fundraising Coordinator Sandy Collette hopes to bring in $150,000 this year.
“Please pick up the phone and donate,” she said. “No amount is too big or too small.”
The show will be hosted by Corus’ Bill Hallman for the first three hours, and Todd Lalonde for the remaining three hours.
Volunteers will be standing by throughout the program to accept calls and take donations.
