Telethon Donations

Our Children Need YOU!

The CVCDA 50th Annual Children’s Telethon, with your generous donations, will continue to build on our programs and meet local demands to improve the lives of children, youth, and adults with diverse abilities and their families in the Comox Valley, who utilise our services.

We are excited to continue our journey toward our primary fundraising goal for 2025. We are working towards funding the planning stages of a new capital project. The Comox Valley Children’s Therapy Centre, one of our oldest and most historic buildings, is in great need of an upgrade in order to more effectively meet the growing demand for our services.

For over 20 years now, our Children’s Therapy Centre has been home to all of our Early Intervention Therapies (EIT), including Speech and Language Pathology and both our Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy programs. You can find our Children’s Therapy Centre off Cliffe Ave. at the rear of the main CVCDA offices, centrally located in downtown Courtenay.

There are a number of ways in which a new building would benefit our organization and the programs it houses. Firstly, having a new therapy space would allow our EIT programs to more easily incorporate more modern equipment and up-to-date technologies that would support our therapy professionals in improving their everyday services.

Additionally, building new would allow for more efficient operations, potentially saving our organization on the mounting and costly expenses covering building maintenance, upkeep and upgrades, when required to retrofit the ageing structure.

We always strive for our locations to be welcoming and inclusive to all of our visitors. The opportunity to completely reimagine a more efficient use of the existing building’s footprint would allow us to make better use of our limited space while also providing a much more open, inviting and spacious layout.

And finally, and most importantly, a new, larger space would allow for the CVCDA to grow our Early Intervention Therapy programs and increase capacity to meet the exploding demands for these services currently in the Comox Valley.

The Telethon is a FREE event where the whole family can come down and experience a live Rogers TV broadcast, enjoy over 30 performances, raffles, special guests, kids’ activities and be part of the wonderful fundraising spirit of the Comox Valley.

Families will also have the opportunity to view from the comforts of their own home or wherever they are in real-time on their TVs or streaming devices.
