ESTEVAN — The most successful United Way Telethon ever to be held in Estevan by that time took place on Oct. 16-17 of 1992 as more than $125,000 was raised during the 36-hour program.

Members of the board of directors and entertainers gathered at the conclusion of the telethon to display the figures indicating how much money was raised when the program went off the air.

Estevan, once again, was the first community in Canada to have reached its objective.

That year’s objective was $97,800, and 20 member agencies were to share the funds.
