Canucks for Kids Fund kicks off annual fundraiser in Vancouver

The Vancouver Canucks are set to face the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, but the game’s intermissions will look different as the annual Canucks for Kids Fund telethon also kicks off.

Viewers will still see Sportsnet’s Satiar Shah and Elliotte Friedman, but they won’t be talking hockey.

Instead, they’ll be asking viewers to call in to take part in the telethon.

“Today is our 33rd Annual CFKF Telethon! Donate now and help us reach our goal of $750,000 to support kids and families across BC,” reads a tweet from the organization.

Donations are directed to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, Canucks Autism Network and the BC Children’s Hospital.

Last year, the Canucks for Kids Fund’s telethon raised more than $683,000.
