Teletón 20-30 (Panama)

Teletón 20-30 de Panamá is an annual fundraising event created by Club Activo 20-30 de Panamá founded in 1981. Each telethon is released on the second (or third) Friday and Saturday of December for 28 hours. Between 1985 and 1989, there were no telethons as a result to the political crisis that the country faced at the time, as well as the December 20 invasion. In 1990, the event was brought back for a fifth edition as they started focusing on the so-called goal projects (a term given for improvements and constructions raised to each hospital in Panama).
Since its first edition, the telethon is hosted at the Anayansi Theatre from the Atlapa Conventions Center. In 2020, due to COVID-19 restrictions, a 35-year long streak was broken when the event was hosted at a small stage without audience and then again in 2021 at the Roberto Durán Arena. Eventually, the event was moved back to its original home for the 37th edition in 2022. From its beginnings, the event is simulcast live by several Panamanian television networks such as TVN, RPC, TVMax, Telemetro and NEXtv, who are also their official sponsors.
