Members of the Halifax Alumni Chapter worked the phones at this year’s IWK Telethon for Children. The telethon took place June 4-5, and was broadcast live on CTV.

The Halifax Chapter took the last phone shift of the weekend, and was on-site for the grand total announcement. Thanks to this year’s donors, the IWK raised an incredible $6,389,518.36.

Pharmacy alumna Natalie Borden (BScPh’94) made a special appeal to Dal grads watching the televised broadcast, encouraging her fellow alumni to call in and contribute a donation before the day’s end. Several callers mentioned the Dal alumni volunteers they’d seen on their screens, easily spotted in their bright black and gold attire.

Thanks to our chapter volunteers for this contribution to the community. You make Dalhousie proud!
