serve as a
district-wide
charity
fundraiser
soliciting
donations and
the
involvement of
the community
How is it
organized?
It is
a telethon
without
telephones! KHK
will organize
the fundraising
events and
solicit
donations and
involvement of
local
businesses,
clubs, and
individuals.
HS
Media classes
will produce 1
day of
broadcasting to
be aired on
Channel 19. They
will also
organize
schedules for
the day’s events
including on-air
hosts,
entertainment,
and

County Food bank

How can I get
involved?
Clubs,
sports teams,
classes, groups
of teachers,
community
organizations,
businesses can
plan their own
activity/fundraising
project to
benefit the
Telethon. Come
during the
broadcast to
support the
students while
giving a
donation and a
holiday greeting
on-air.
We are in need
of entertainment!
If you
have a group
that wishes to
perform
(musicians,
singers,
cheerleaders,
etc.)
they can come
that day to
provide
entertainment in
the form of a
skit, song,
routine,
etc. It does not
have to be a
large group. One
or two students
singing or
playing
instruments is
perfect as well.

would like to
bring your kids
