Asbury~Solomons Island Telethon

In February 2010, Asbury~Solomons Island hosted a telethon to raise funds for new auditorium chairs at the community. Emceed by Doug Hill, the chief meteorologist for ABC Channel 7 in Washington, D.C., the event featured Asbury residents and associates in a variety of skits and musical acts aimed at raising awareness of the need to replace the community’s existing, worn-out chairs.

In approximately two hours, the event raised more than $17,000, which in turn led to the purchase of 160 new seats that were delivered in the spring.

Due to the overwhelming success of the first-ever telethon at Asbury~Solomons Island, it hopes to continue as an annual event.
