High Peaks Hospice met and exceeded its fundraising goal during Tuesday’s annual Radio Day Telethon. 

The goal was to raise $35,000 to support the mission of High Peaks Hospice.  When the 14-hour event, broadcast on local radio and TV stations, came to an end last night, just over $37,700 in pledges had been received.

Tupper Lake generated $18,400 – including $7000 from the students of LP Quinn Elementary School.  $11,800 in pledges came from the Saranac Lake area and another $7400 from Lake Placid.

Betty White of Lake Placid was the winner of a 1987 Porsche, which was raffled off at the end of the telethon.

This was the 13th annual High Peaks Hospice Radio Day.
