KRCC Telethon nears

The Kenny Rogers Children's Center Telethon is less than two weeks away but before he takes the stage as one of this year's telethon poster children, Jake Pritchett still has therapy to complete. Working on his balance and strenthening his core muscles, Jake's therapist Audrey Glover made it a game as he reached up for ingredients of a sandwich he was making. This year's telethon is set for March 18 and 19 at the Sikeston Field House and will feature several new events including a lip sync battle, cornhole tournament and chili taste off. This year's goal is $400,000. Donations can be made in advance at kennyrogerscenter.org.
