The 25th Annual All Children’s Hospital Telethon Raised $4,212,804 for Kids' Care (Read the News Release)
Thanks for helping us create healthy tomorrow's... for one child, for All Children!
News Channel 8’s news reporters hosted the 2008 Telethon broadcast live from the All Children’s Hospital Education & Conference Center. The annual Telethon was broadcast live from All Children's Education and Conference Center onWFLA-TV News Channel 8 from Saturday, May 31 at 8:30 PM through Sunday, June 1 at 6:30 PM. The event was also broadcast on WXCW/CW-6, the CW affiliate in the Ft. Myers/Naples area, and streamed via webcast onAllkids.org and TBO.com.
All funds raised through the Telethon go directly to All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg and its outreach locations throughout west central Florida. Our Telethon theme – “Building Miracles” – was a reminder of the work currently underway to build a brand new All Children’s Hospital, with more room for families and for the cutting-edge technology that their children need.

Our Telethon is part of the Children's Miracle Network, representing children's hospitals across North America. We share the courageous stories of our young patients, who are at the heart of it all. No matter which part of the hour you call, your entire donation stays here at All Children's Hospital, to benefit the children in your community who need us most.
