Telethon 2017 will be broadcast live on WKBW-TV from our new location at the Seneca Niagara Casino Events Center in Niagara Falls, NY from 7 am to 7 pm on April 2, 2017.

The beneficiaries of Variety support include Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo, the Robert Warner Rehab Center, and dozens of other local children’s charities.

Our annual Variety Kids Telethon, the longest-running, locally-produced telethon in the nation, is our flagship event and a real WNY treasure. Each year, the community comes together to rally support for our region’s special kids. Thanks to our supporters and partners, the Telethon raised $1 million in 2016 for the cause.
