This year’s telethon benefitting the American Cancer Society will feature live reports from Bethlehem Sunday, Aug. 2, during the Noon to 3 p.m. time slot.

Because of the pandemic, this year’s program will not originate from Penn’s Peak just outside Jim Thorpe. Instead both Saturday’s and Sunday’s 12-hour segments will be a combination of live studio and Zoom hosting and both previously recorded and Zoom talent performances.

The telethon will air on Service Electric in the Lehigh Valley.

Pledges can be made on cancertelethon.org.
