content: Some people with disabilities find telethons to be demeaning and offensive. They reject the use of people, especially children, as objects of pity as a strategy for raising money. One of the best known telethons has been the one hosted by Jerry Lewis on behalf of Muscular Dystrophy Association. Begun in 1966, the MDA telethon takes place on the Labor Day weekend.
