Free Care Fund Telethon Today On KDKA-TV News

PITTSBURGH (KDKA)- You can help provide children and their families with the funds to get great care at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.

It's the 62nd annual Children's Hospital Free Care Fund Benefit Show.

At the end of the hour, KDKA's Jon Burnett announced that Pittsburgh had raised $1,817,127.
