PRIDE Telethon
The annual PRIDE Telethon is a highly anticipated community event. The event (which will be televised on live on Comcast Cable channel 17 Wednesday, March 17th thru Saturday, March 20th) combines a three day auction with a talent day in which many local organizations and individuals are featured. In addition, there are many special activities sponsored by businesses, individuals, organizations and schools in the days leading up to event. In the past, this event has raised approximately one-third of the annual operating budget for Huntingdon County PRIDE. The 2009 telethon brought in $161,487.75.
