After the A World of Smiles live telethon for BC Children's Hospital Foundation last week, I was pumped.

Then I hit up their HQ for their year-long fundraising culmination in the two-day long weekend live telethon on Global TV.

BC Lions mascot Leon the Lion was in tow of the BCCHF bear, among many guests and local celebrities including an earlier visit from the Sedins.

News Hour anchor Chris Gailus hosted the broadcast affair along with many other Global personalities.

Sports anchor Jay Durant (left) and Morning News host Sophie Lui (right) reported on the donation hauls, checking in with call takers.

Thousands tuned in to watch live last weekend and pledged, raising $17,939,688 for children's health, care, and service.
