Today was the Tri-state cares telethon at the American Red cross, it's been a great and fun day, but a long day! The Telethon started at 6 this morning and ended at 6:30 and that tote board has been going up, up, up all day long! But here's the final total!

Drum roll please.....

 

OVER $17,000 WAS RAISED TODAY!!! 

This is why I LOVE the tri-state! Everyone always comes together in a time of need to help out! All the money raised is going to help the tornado victims in Kokomo, Indiana,  and help the flood victims from South Bend and Louisiana. The money will go to help the red cross provide food, water, and anything else a family could need in a time of need. Everything from a single house fire to a city-wide disaster, the Red Cross will be there.

If you'd like to help out they are also desperately needing volunteers! You can find out more about volunteering and how you can get involved, here.

Even the Mayor is singing about The Red Cross!
