' “We are aware of hundreds.
of pledges; both- large ‘and °

- Major portion of the
money will be placed in trust
towards Variety's new
Children’s Hospital Project.
The club niade.a $5-milli

and before. the 1979

Telethon, $3:2-niillion had

beensset aside.

The latest Telethon will
send. the trust account to
over $4-million.

The BCTV Telethon
provides most of the funds
for the new hospital, which
is. presently under con-
struction in the Shaughnessy
Hospital complex in Van-
couver. The Vancouver Sun
conducted a Christmas
campaign in 1977 to con-
struct the Jack Wasserman _
Rehabilitation Centre within
new Children’s and it was

- successful in: raising over

$180,000. Several other
special rooms have been
funded as part of the
Télethon spectacular.

Funds ' have also come
from an NHL all-star dinner
in 1977, from two unique

“ay believe. it is “equally
significant that during this
period, . Variety Club has

“been able “to assist- .many

other handicapped.
' ‘children's projects in various
areas of our province,”

Rosen said. “Our role is now -
well known in_ British
Columbia, and. we. don’t
contemplate any changes in

our fund-raising philosophy. —

“The club's members want

to continue providing capital

funds for those organizations
who need better facilities
and equipment ‘for their
programs of treatment for
special children.”

Since its inceptioi i in 1965,
the club has funded and

constructed Variety Farm in |

Ladner; Variety’s Treatment

Centre for Children in -

Surrey and Variety’s Mental
Retardation — Institute of
UBC. —

Rosen said virtual
‘agreement has been reached
with the Board of Directors
of New Children’s Hospital
_ for suitable recognition for
“Variety Club’s efforts since
1976. The diagnostic clinic
area of the hospital will carry

Variety Club’s ‘name per- |

He said even before the
hospital is completed
sometime in 1980, the club
will have selected its next
major project. A committee
