IWK Telethon - Don't foget to give
Specialized hospitals for sick children are a very important aspect of our society. Health care costs are really expensive, and in Canada we are lucky to have many costs paid for through a universal health system. However, it is particularly tragic when one of our kids acquires a critical disease or illness. Regardless of whether you've had kids or not, you probably know of someone near you who required specialized treatment at one of these hospitals, and unfortunately government funding just isn't always enough.
Every year, these hospitals, such as the IWK hold telethons. Various fund raising occurs through out the year. Both individuals and business contribute. Call centers, television, radio stations and hundreds of other volunteers devote their time to help raise money for this needy cause.
The IWK is one of these hospitals and is located in Halifax Nova Scotia, but many other hosptials through out Canada generally hold similar telethons around the same time.
