Variety, the children’s charity of Buffalo & WNY is thrilled to be entering its 64th year of The Annual Variety Kids Telethon! Serving and helping the kids right here in our own community is our number one priority.
On behalf of Variety Club, we would like to cordially invite your business/ company to join our Family of Corporate Donors for The 64th Annual Variety Kids Telethon taking place this March. With your support, we can make such a positive impact and provide the care our children need.
Being a corporate donor involves making a donation of $500 or greater to the Telethon and joining us for a live-in-person interview to talk about your company & encourage others to donate at The 2026 Variety Kids Telethon. It’s a great way to showcase your business and do something amazing at the same time.
The viewer would see your company’s name on the screen for the Corporate Match time. The Corporate Match allows your company to be seen as not only helping children right here in Western New York, but also to be seen as a great Community Booster.
The Variety Kids Telethon takes place over TWO Days. The first night kicks off on Saturday, March 21st from 6pm-11pm on NBC Affiliate WGRZ, Channel 2. It continues on Sunday, March 22nd from 10am-8pm on WBBZ, Channel 5. In addition the Telethon also streams online. The Telethon takes place at The Variety headquarters in Lancaster.
Last year, nearly 60,000 viewers tuned into the Telethon during the two-day event.
Since 1934 Variety has been part of WNY, and we’re continuing our commitment to this region’s kids. All of our donations stay local and are dedicated to programming and equipment that changes children’s lives!
Your donation is a commitment to WNY kids, and by coming on our Corporate Challenge, you’ll show our tens of thousands of regional viewers that your business/ company represents WNY!
We would be honored to have you join our family at the 2026 Variety Kids Telethon!
