UPDATE: Sunday, August 9
It has been a year for fundraising challenges but that didn’t stop Kentuckiana from coming together to help the WHAS Crusade for Children. America’s most successful telethon raised $4.8 million during its 67th telethon after a generous donation of $36,479 from the Sam Swope Family Foundation to round up the total.

The show will kick off at 1 p.m. Saturday, running through 6:30 p.m. Sunday. While there will not be a variety show, WHAS favorites will still appear throughout the weekend.
