Variety Show of Hearts Telethon

Beginning at 6:00pm on Saturday, and winding up at 5:00pm Sunday evening, the two-day show features heartwarming stories of children in BC helped by Variety – The Children’s Charity, concerts showcasing the music industry’s biggest stars, and innovative ways for viewers to engage with the show – including winning a new car from Ford!

Variety’s funding support is directed towards covering the costs of life-saving medication, equipment and emergency travel and accommodation expenses for families whose children are receiving treatment at out-of-community hospitals, life-changing support in the form of mobility equipment, specialized therapies and communication devices that give children the chance to learn, grow and thrive and life-enriching experiences, such as the opportunity to attend special schools, summer camps and other therapeutic programs. Variety supports families and also organizations that provide the tools and training to help children achieve their full potential.

For almost 50 years Variety – The Children’s Charity has provided life-saving, life-changing and life-enriching support to children in BC who have special needs. They make a big difference in the lives of families, helping children across BC celebrate their individual little victories.
