Our First Telethon
Live on KTLA

CELEBRATING OVER 100 YEARS OF SERVICE

MPTF’s first telethon aired live in primetime on Los Angeles’ top-rated KTLA 5, Saturday, December 10, 2022 – 7-9P, hosted by Yvette Nicole Brown and Tom Bergeron. The recent COVID pandemic has affected all of us over the past 2½ years. MPTF has seen significantly increased costs of over $9 million specifically related to COVID, including lab testing, PPE, isolation units, screeners, and significantly increased staffing expenses. These were unexpected and unbudgeted, pushing MPTF’s cash reserves into the critical zone. We hope you joined us to help MPTF continue supporting those in need; watch the telethon below and enjoy some memorable stories, songs, and more showcasing the impact of our services.

Please consider donating to support Lights, Camera, Take Action! and MPTF.
