Tonight is the night Buffalo! Phone lines for our telethon on Channel 7 will open at 5pm and close at 6:30pm, so be sure to call in your donations to help Japan.

If you call 716.886.7500 during the telethon, a volunteer will be anxiously waiting to take your secure credit card donation, so be sure to keep them busy with your phone calls!

We'd like to thank Wegmans for the food that they will be providing to our volunteers working the telethon, for the Check Out campaign they are running to help aid Japan, and the $100,000 the Wegmans family donated to the American Red Cross' relief efforts.  

Also, we'd like to thank Roschez Academy of Irish Dancers and their families for helping to raise over $1,000 to donate to the Japanese Earthquake and Pacific tsunami fund.

If you would like to help out by making a donation, you can call us tonight during out telethon at (716)886-7500 or you can donate at anytime by visiting us online, texting REDCROSS to 90999 (there will be a $10.00 charge added to your cell phone bill), calling 1-800-REDCROSS or by mailing a check to:
