The United Way of Estevan has started to meet on a weekly basis in advance of their annual telethon.
Their first meeting was held on August 25. Meetings will continue every Wednesday until the telethon on October 15 and 16.
“The committees will be doing the work to prepare for the telethon, and everything organization-wise in relation to that,” said president James Trobert. “We’ll be preparing our business kits for our corporate donors, and getting everything on the go for another successful telethon this year.”
The goal for this year is $300,000. Trobert is confident that the goal will once again be attained and exceeded.
Entertainment and volunteers are still needed, Trobert said. The United Way is also seeking board members.
This year’s telethon will begin at 8 a.m. on the 15th and continue until 5 p.m. on the 16th. The theme is “Get in the Way.”
Estevan’s United Way has been the first in Canada to reach their goal 32 times in the telethon’s 33-year history.
