NO TELETHON TELETHON
(back to news main)
After 21 years of producing the Annual Telethon, the Adult & Child Rehab Center has made a bold decision. We are announcing the “No Telethon Telethon.” Last year, the cost for producing the Telethon was more than $14,000. This money would be better spent providing direct services to our increasing number of clients. This year, instead of devoting our time and money to produce a show, we will use it to assist the client in their recovery from a Traumatic Brain Injury, the at-risk elderly with balance issues or our young population with developmental delays.
The Adult & Child Rehab Center provides physical, occupational, speech and lymphedema therapies, as well as nursing care. We have been providing services to the residents of McHenry County since 1949.
Because the Rehab Center does not receive any state or federal funding, we must rely on the generosity of our community to reach our $100K goal for this campaign. If you would like to make a donation, please send it to 708 Washington Street, Woodstock, IL 60098 or log onto our website at www.adultchildrehabcenter.org. Feel free to contact us at 815.338.1707 if you have any questions.
