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

All proceeds from the Telethon stay right here in the Comox Valley where the CVCDA supported over one thousand children last year through our 17 different programs.

Thanks to the generous support of local businesses throughout the years, we have raised well over 2 million dollars since our first Telethon. The funds raised each year at the Telethon allow the CVCDA to continue providing essential child development services for local children, youth, adults with a range of diverse abilities and their families. These funds assist us to sustain all of our programming and grow with the demand of these services.

Thank you to all of our supporters planning fundraising initiatives and contributions to put towards this year's total. Be sure to share and tag us in your fundraising so we can help get the word out.

YOU really can make a difference.
