Channel 7's 26-hour live Telethon 2024 has set a new record, raising $83,264,216 for sick children in Western Australia. This year's theme was 'Incredible Together', emphasising the collective effort of the community.

The event, which took place at RAC Arena, was broadcast on Channel 7 in WA and streamed across 7plus nationally. Key figures involved in the event included Seven West Media Chair and Telethon Trustee, Kerry Stokes AC, and Seven West Media WA CEO and Telethon Trustee, Maryna Fewster.

The Telethon was supported by the entire Seven West Media WA team, including 7NEWS Perth, The West Australian, Perth Now, The Nightly, Streamer and 30 regional and suburban newspapers.

"Telethon provided vital support to children in need but also united the State in a celebration of kindness and hope. Every year, it’s about children using their own pocket money or fundraising to help other children. Telethon is a community-driven initiative that inspires generosity, and it is very special to West Australians and has been for more than half a century," said Stokes.

Since its inception in 1968, Telethon has raised over $688 million. In 2024, Telethon financially supported 136 children’s charities, beneficiaries and community organisations in Western Australia.

"Every dollar raised during Telethon 2024 will go towards making a real difference in the lives of children facing health challenges across our state," said Fewster.

The Telethon broadcast featured many Seven Network stars and music performances by artists such as Guy Sebastian, Human Nature, Vanessa Amorosi, Samantha Jade and Rob Mills.
