The Annual NCVO Telethon managed to raise around $120,000 in pledges on Saturday 20th October, just shy of its target of $140,000.

This was the 39th Radiothon and the 26th Telethon.

It was held at The Prospect Playhouse who gave their services free as did all the performers and radio/Tv announcers.

There was a wealth of local entertainment from local artists that included:

Isadora Ferrao
JGHS Swing Band –
Miss Izzy’s Kids Music
Dezira Tatum
Kiandra Edwards
Kianna Ebanks
Esabella Medina
Demae Lee
Joan Wilson

Roy Bodden
Dequan Smith Trio
Bonafide
Luis Castillo
J.R. Douglas Band
Dario Rivers
Little Magic
Flamenco Caribe
Max, Luis, Eden – drum jam
Danny Loops
Suckerbox
Hi Tide
Fyah Squad

It was a fun evening and NCVO sends a big thank you to all the many people involved that included people on the telephones, the television crew, back stage crew and especially Eden Hurlston who put the show together.
