58th Annual Variety Show of Hearts: A Spectacular Telethon for a Wonderful Cause

Are you ready to show your heart for B.C. children? The 58th annual Variety Show of Hearts, a spectacular telethon that celebrates the courage and resilience of children with disabilities and complex health needs. From 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. PST, you can watch the show live on Global BC and witness the amazing stories of children and families who have been supported by Variety, the Children’s Charity of BC.

The Variety Show of Hearts is not only a heartwarming event, but also a star-studded one. You will be entertained by some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, such as Adam Beach, Evan Goldberg, Joe Jonas, Barenaked Ladies, Eric McCormack, Natalie Portman, Seth Rogen, Martin Short and George Stroumboulopoulos. You will also see exclusive musical performances by talented artists like Aysanabee, Tom Cochrane, The Reklaws and Walk Off the Earth.

But the real stars of the show are the children and families who have benefited from Variety’s programs, services, and resources. You will hear their stories of hope, gratitude, and empowerment, and see how your donations have made a difference in their lives. Variety is committed to stepping in for families who need urgent support and specialized care when there is nowhere else to turn. By donating to Variety, you are helping to transform the daily realities and the future prospects of children across the province.

And the best part is, your donation will go twice as far during the Variety Show of Hearts campaign. Thanks to a generous group of donors, every donation will be matched, allowing you to make twice the impact in a child’s life. Plus, if you join Variety’s Monthly Giving program or make a one-time donation of $169 or more, you will receive a limited-edition poster of Robert Bateman’s Northern Reflections – Loon Family, a beautiful artwork that was commissioned by the Government of Canada as a gift for H.R.H. the Prince of Wales on the occasion of his wedding.
