Billy Gilman Participating In Jerry Lewis Telethon
Billy Gilman will be helping out "Jerry's Kids" this weekend. The singer is among the stars who are on board for the 45th annual Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon. Lynyrd Skynyrd is also slated to perform, along with a wide variety of other artists including Enrique Iglesias, David Archuleta, Barry Manilow, Tony Orlando, Charo, Taylor Dane and others. Gilman is no newcomer to the event. He's been on hand for several MDA telethons over the past decade, and he's also a Muscular Dystrophy Association Celebrity Ambassador. Lewis, who is also MDA's National Chairman, will be at the helm for the show, while "Days Of Our Lives" Star Alison Sweeney and TV personalities Nancy O'Dell and Jann Carl will assist in co-hosting the 21-and-a-half-hour event. The Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon will originate from the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, beginning at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
More than 170 TV and cable stations will broadcast the telethon which will also be streamed on the Internet at www.mda.org. Social media followers can also get a look behind the scenes of the telethon via Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. An end-of-summer tradition that began in the mid-1950s in New York City, the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon is now in its 45th year. Last year's event raised more than 60-million-dollars in pledges and contributions for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. |
