Another successful Easter Seals telethon is in the books.

Pledges were called in yesterday during the six hour telethon on Eastlink.

A final tally of $302,000 was raised…with more donations expected in the coming days.

The money will help purchase equipment for children in Northeastern Ontario who have physical disabilities…or to send them to Easter Seals’ summer camps.

Numerous local celebrities helped host the telethon, including KiSS 105.3 Morning show team Rich Griffin and Gary Beech.
