The nearly year-long stay-at-home recommendations caused by COVID-19 have prompted the renaissance of the telethon, though cast on the internet rather than produced for television. The Hearts for Helping event to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County will be webcast live from The Sylvee, with appearances by Doug E. Fresh, Claudia Jordan, Pooch Hall, Brian J. White, and Madison's own Old Soul Society, among others; Community Hero awards; a youth talent show; silent auction; and more. Watch free via the Boys and Girls Clubs Facebook and YouTube pages; the goal is to raise $350,000 online during the program. Register here to make a donation or participate in the silent auction.
