twitterLetter: Las Vegas did part for MDA Telethon
Friday, Sept. 17, 1999 | 8:59 a.m.
The people of Las Vegas have done it again! They really pulled for us this year and helped make the 1999 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon a winner with $53.1 million in pledges and contributions!
By taking part in local MDA events, by calling in pledges to the telethon broadcast on KLAS-TV, Channel 8, by helping "my kids" in other ways, Las Vegas Sun readers have made a huge difference for families throughout Nevada and across the nation.
They've helped speed MDA-funded research around the globe. Moreover, they've helped maintain the national network of clinics that resulted in MDA becoming the first organization honored by the American Medical Association with a Lifetime Achievement Award "for significant and lasting contributions to the health and welfare of humanity." In Nevada MDA has two clinics offering the best in patient care.
For making the 1999 MDA Telethon a bell-ringer, thanks, Las Vegas!
