For muscular dystrophy
Area telethon nets $221,0991
f
By MIKE KIRKPATRICK
of the UP staff
The 1979 Muscular
Dystrophy Telethon, held
Sunday night and Monday
at Parkdale Mall, netted
$221,099 in area pledges,
according to Lynda Martin,
district director for the
area MD Association.
The telethon for the
Golden Triangle was a big
success, Martin said. The
net figure reflects an in-
crease of $77,099 over the
amount pledged last year,
Martin said.
The Jerry Lewis
National Telethon, from
which the local telethon
was cut, netted $30 million,
Martin said.
The largest area cor-
porate donation was
pledged by the local Mc-
Donald’s chain. This
pledge totaled $15,000, ac-
cording to Martin.
The largest area in-
dividual donation, Martin
said, was made by David
Stone Jr., who collected
$8,007 for MD this year.
Stone was also the largest
individual donor last year.
Stone is 15 years old and a
victim of cerebral palsy.
Other sizable area
donations, Martin said,
were made by Parkdale
Mall, $5,000; the National
Association of Letter
Carriers, both Beaumont
and Port Arthur chapters,
$6,200; and Firefighter’s
Locals 399 in Beaumont
and 297 in Port Arthur,
$3,619 and $4,200 respec-
tively.
“We attribute the suc;
cess of the telethon to
taking the show to the
people,’’ said Linda
Collins, program coor-
dinator for MDA.
According to Collins, the
accessibility of Parkdale
Mall was th,e major factor
in the success of this
telethon. This accessibility
brought “tremendous”
crowds the last day of .the
telethon, Collins said.
“We estimate that at the
height of the telethon on
Monday,” according to
John Latino, Parkdale Mall
security chief, “we had
5,000 plus people in at-
tendance.
“This kind of crowd is
comparable to last-minute
Christmas Eve shopping,”
Latino said.
“I think the telethon was
fantastic,” said Mildred
Allen, manager of Russell
Stover Candies. “It is the
best promotion ever put on
at the Mall.”
According to Latino, the
whole affair ran very
smoothly. “We perceived
having many more
problems than we did,”
Latino said. “Out of the en-
tire 2iy2 hours of the
telethon, we had one in-
cident, a fight, which was
stopped before it truly star-
ted.”
“We are looking forward
to making this telethon an
annual event (at Park-
dale),” Charles Upham,
mall manager, said. “It
was excellent business.
Most of all, the merchants
were happy to be a part of
such a charitable hap-
pening.”
