Lehigh Valley’s American Cancer Society to host April 6 event

American Cancer Society of the Greater Lehigh Valley will be hosting Cancer Telethon Lehigh Valley, in conjunction with Cancer Telethon based at Penn’s Peak, set for 2-8 p.m. April 6 at the Delta Hotel by Marriott, 7736 Adrienne Drive, Breinigsville. This event will serve to raise funds for critical cancer research, as well as ACS support programs for the cancer community, like Hope Lodge and Road to Recovery.

“It has been a pleasure to work with the Cancer Telethon at Penn’s Peak for so many years, and we are excited to host this first fundraising-style event that will feature music, food, raffles and check-ins with the live broadcast,” said James Pepe, senior development manager with ACS. “Members of our board of advisers have worked diligently to bring together some great local musicians and raffle items to help launch this new event.”

The Cancer Telethon Lehigh Valley will be hosted by Alex Fydryszewski, of WALN TV, and Mike Kelly, of B104. The music lineup consists of Rameen Shayegen; cancer survivor Dina Hall; The Beautiful Distortion, featuring Men Wear Pink alumnus David Doll; and Union Jack, featuring Dennis Hower, the 2023 No. 3 in the nation fundraiser for Men Wear Pink.

Tickets can be purchased at cancertele24.givesmart.com or by contacting James Pepe at james.pepe@cancer.org. A ticket includes entry to the event and a meal, along with access to the raffles that include stays at three Lehigh Valley hotels, golf at local courses and more.

The 45th annual Northeast Pennsylvania ACS Telethon airs April 6 and 7 from Penn’s Peak on Service Electric Cable in the Lehigh Valley.
