The Children's Miracle Network Celebration Telethon raised more than $608,000 in pledges from their local broadcast on June 2-3.
"I want to thank everyone who donated their time and money to make this year's telethon such a great success," Diana Bennett, chairman of the UMC Foundation, said. "These generous gifts will benefit the children of this community for years to come."
The money will help buy state-of-the-art pediatric care equipment for University Medical Center.
The Celebration Telethon aired on KVVU Channel 5 from the Cheyenne Campus of Community College of Southern Nevada. It was sponsored by the UMC Foundation Inc., a nonprofit organization chartered to raise funds for UMC.
