The KTTC/Eagles Cancer Telethon

Watch the history behind the KTTC/Eagles Cancer Telethon

(KTTC-TV) -- The KTTC/Eagles Cancer Telethon is on KTTC this weekend, January 16^thand 17^th and we're proud to say that it's the country's longest running, totally local telethon.

For 56-years it has been a joint effort between KTTC and the Rochester Eagles Club that's located just north of Cub Foods.

You can watch the telethon LIVE on KTTC beginning Saturday at 8 p.m., but make sure you stop on down to the Mayo Civic Center too. You'll be able to see the entertainers perform in person ... get your hair cut, have refreshments, enjoy a pork sandwich, make a donation - all the money stays right here in our community going to the Mayo Clinic, the University of Minnesota and the Hormel Institute to fund cancer research.

And of course, your hosts for the twenty hours of live coverage will be your favorite KTTC news personalities. Please give to the Eagles Cancer Telethon on KTTC.
