Back-to-School Telethon

Watch us LIVE on WKMG News 6 for a one-day special!

On August 18, the Back-to-School Telethon will broadcast live to get results for local teachers and students. All donations received will be eligible to be doubled by generous matching funders to provide twice the supplies.

Through A Gift For Teaching, every dollar received can provide up to $10 worth of supplies to teachers and students, but for 24 hours, donations will go twice as far to provide up to $20 worth of supplies.

Check back later to see what the matching funders’ challenge will be this year.

TOGETHER, WE’LL GET RESULTS
