After an entire weekend of generous donations, the Variety Telethon wrapped up around 6 p.m. Sunday.

The 2013 Variety Telethon raised a record $3,603,013 for Iowa kids.

Variety's first telethon was in 1975, and raised $150,000. This time around, 35 years later, Variety has raised over $90 million that has been granted to agencies serving children across the State of Iowa. The money also goes towards having Sunshine Coaches on the road to transport children to all kinds of exciting activities. Thanks to all who participated, and were able to raise the much needed funds for Iowa's Children.
