Updated: January 7, 2009
The phones were ringing off the hook in Texarkana Saturday all for a good cause. Each year, KTAL Newschannel 6 hosts the Easter Seals Telethon and without missing a beat, this year`s show raised thousands at the temple memorial rehabilitation center, for local children in need. Some of the funds raised go to therapies like speech, aqua therapy and even a way for children to ride horses, as KTAL`s Rick Boone said at the telethon, "it`s a way to make them feel alive again." Christus Saint Michael Health Systems, E-Z mart, and Outback steakhouse were just a few of this year`s sponsors. The grand total for Saturday`s endeavors is $125,230.
