IWK Telethon

Thank You for Helping Make History

The generosity of our Maritime community was on full display during the 42nd IWK Telethon for Children on CTV Atlantic. Together, donors from across the region helped raise a record-breaking $9,110,219.34 in support of your IWK.

To our IWK donor community, THANK YOU! Because of generous supporters like you, Maritime children, youth, and families can continue to receive the specialized care they need.

Telethon 42 was an incredible four-day celebration that began with the IWK Radiothon on Bell Media radio stations and concluded with the Live Tribute Show and Telethon broadcast on CTV Atlantic. Every moment of this historic weekend was made possible by compassionate supporters like you. Your generosity helps ensure the IWK can continue delivering world-class care, groundbreaking research, and life-changing support for families across the Maritimes—close to home, and when it matters most.

Thank you for standing with the IWK community and helping us make history.
