This weeks Charity Spotlight: Variety - the Children's Charity of Buffalo & WNY

Variety – the Children’s Charity of Buffalo & WNY has been serving the needs of WNY’s sick, disabled, and disadvantaged children for over 80 years. Unlike most charitable organizations that focus on a single disease or area of need, Variety focuses on multiple unmet needs of children who are sick, disadvantaged or live with disabilities and other special needs at a local, national and international level. The beneficiaries of Variety support include Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo, the Robert Warner Rehabilitation Center, and dozens of other local children’s charities.

This year’s telethon will be held on March 3rd from 7am until 6pm on WKBW with benefits going to The Variety Tent #7 Robert Warner, MD Rehabilitation Center, Oishei Children's Hospital and other local children’s charities. Tune in then and help out the kids.
