For the past 11 years, Mexico has held a telethon to raise money for rehabilitation centers for handicapped children. Headquartered in Mexico City, El Teletón, sought to raise $420, 369, 748 (MEX) by midnight tonight. That equates to nearly $40 Million (US).Although they came up a little short at midnight, I imagine they'll soon reach their goal.
This fund-raising campaign brings together businesses, musicians, celebrities and politicians from around the country. It's neat to see how many people come together to help these kids. Even the President, Felipe Calderón, showed up at the event. Unity has incredible power.
