Maritimers donate millions during 27th IWK Telethon

This year’s IWK Telethon For Children raised more 5.42 milllion dollars for the second year in a row.

The 27th annual telethon aired throughout the Maritimes on CTV over the weekend.

An IWK release says the fundraising total has topped $5 million for the past few years.

Dr. Margaret Magner, president and CEO of the IWK Health Centre Foundation, says the outpouring of support means the IWK is able to remain a centre of excellence in the Maritimes.

Donations will be used for research and support programs and to purchase priority medical equipment.
