The Eagles Cancer Telethon is the longest locally running telethon in the United States. Each year, the Telethon raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer research. The money raised supports vital cancer research at three local places: Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, Hormel Institute for Cancer Research and the U of M Masonic Cancer Center.
There are about 125 acts that showcase their talents during the live Telethon. It also highlights inspirational stories from cancer survivors. On Sunday, cancer survivors come together to fill our Telethon stage for a powerful “Survivor’s Moment,” where we also remember those we’ve lost.
Through the support of the community, the Telethon has been able to donate more than $17 million the fight against cancer.
