The Kansas City Chapter of Variety Club International, in conjunction with KMBC TV Channel 9 and seven local businesses, sponsored the telethon that began at 10:30 p.m. Saturday and continued until 6 p.m. Sunday.
Variety Club, an organization of professional actors that was formed in 1927, has helped children in 10 countries overcome physical and mental handicaps, Chet Francis, chief barker of the organization, said Sunday.
'Variety is the world's largest children's charity, having raised more
than $375 million for handicapped youngsters since its inception," Francis said.
THES WEEKEND'S fund raising total, $252,186, will be split among four Kansas City area groups. These groups—the Crittenton Center, the pediatrics department at the Med Center, Ozaman Home and the Sunshine School—are located throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area and provide care for a variety of disabilities.

A study completed last June showed that the children received access rate, said Bill Bergsh, director of Community Relations at the School.
THE PEDIATRICS department treated about 45,000 children last year, John Hiebert, professor and chief of plastic surgery at the Med Center, said.
