The CHEO Telethon is one of our region’s most beloved traditions. This year, the CHEO Telethon takes place from May 22 through June 4 and you can start making a difference right away! With the generosity and support of our community, we will raise funds to provide life-saving care, further world-class research and purchase much needed equipment. The CHEO Telethon is a time to honour our bravest heroes and the dedicated teams working together to overcome challenges like childhood cancer, rare disease and mental illness.

HOW CAN I HELP?

As a proud CHEO supporter, you can encourage your community to follow your lead by showing them that you too are a #hero4CHEO. Start by sharing the CHEO Telethon website (www.cheotelethon.com) with your family and friends and encouraging them to watch this year’s six CHEO stories. Remind them that the CHEO Telethon is a wonderful time to show their support for children and youth because we are #StrongerTogether and every donation is matched by generous sponsors that will double their gift and the impact of their donation.

HASHTAGS

Using our hashtags #hero4CHEO, #CHEOtelethon and #StrongerTogether will help to start an online conversation around the CHEO Telethon and keep it top of mind throughout the two-week campaign. When people click on the #hashtag they’ll be able to see all the recent posts about the CHEO Telethon! Take a moment to check-in with the #hero4CHEO, #CHEOtelethon and #StrongerTogether feeds on your favourite social media network to find and/or share great content.

Photos

Feel free to add photos to your social media posts. We have found that people engage better with posts that feature photos, so including them will be helpful for grabbing the attention of your network and encouraging them to support the CHEO Telethon.

Share & Engage!

If you see CHEO Telethon content that you would like to share, like or comment on please feel free to do so! You will see lots of CHEO Telethon posts on our social channels from May 22 to June 4, and we are so grateful for community participation.
