Live Telethon on Sept. 17 to Benefit
Schreiner University’s Hill Country College Fund
KVHC Channel 15 is sponsoring a
live telethon Saturday, Sept. 17 to benefit
Schreiner University’s
Hill Country College Fund.
Donations made during the broadcast will go directly to
scholarships for students from Kerr and the surrounding
counties who attend Schreiner University. The broadcast
will be from 6-10 p.m. on KVHC Channel 15, Kerrville
cable 10, and Center Point and Ingram Channel 11.
“We are here to serve the community as a broadcast
channel”, said Mary Silver of KVCH Channel 15.
“Telethons are events that we rarely host, but the Hill
Country College Fund is something we believe in, and
justifies an occasion to reach out to the community.”
Entertainment during the telethon will be provided by a
talent competition open to the public with a cash prize
of $500. Applications are now being accepted for the
talent competition entitled “The Hill Country’s Got
Talent.”
Applications are available at
www.schreiner.edu or call 830-792-7201 for more
information. The winner of “The Hill Country’s Got
Talent” will be decided in part by judges and in part by
the audience vote, so tune in to watch locals vie for
the prize and bragging rights.
“This will allow our viewers to take part in making it
possible for almost anyone in the Hill Country to get a
college education. This telethon promises to be more
than just about raising money… It will also be a lot of
fun for the community to watch, and a great experience
for all those that participate,” Silver said. The Hill
Country College Fund began in 1977 and since then has
awarded over $8 million to students from Kerr and
surrounding counties. If you are interested in
volunteering or giving to HCCF, please contact Schreiner
University’s Director of Development, Mignonne Frantzen
at 830-792-7208.
