The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Telethon with Kevin Hart as Host
The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) telethon, hosted by Kevin Hart, is making a comeback to raise funds for the MDA and Kevin Hart's charity, Help From The Hart. The event aims to remove barriers and provide equal opportunities and care for children and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases.
The telethon will be streamed live on TikTok on Saturday, October 24, 2020, from 5-7pm PT. It will feature a lineup of celebrities and performers who will entertain and encourage viewers to support this important cause. The show will include music, comedy, fitness, dance, interviews, and surprises to keep everyone engaged. Celebrities such as Garcelle Beauvais, Aloe Blacc, Jack Black, Usain Bolt, Don Cheadle, Common, Bryan Cranston, Cindy Crawford, Whitney Cummings, Stephen Curry, Adam Devine, Fat Joe, Josh Gad, Liz Gillies, Aldis Hodge, Edwin Hodge, Michael B. Jordan, DJ Khaled, Zachary Levi, Daniel Levy, Loni Love, Leslie Mann, Jillian Mercado, Kelly Rowland, Robin Thicke, Gabrielle Union Wade, and John David Washington will make appearances.
The MDA has been supporting research, care, and advocacy for over 300,000 people in the United States living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases. During the live event, viewers will get an inside look at the families, research, care, and advocacy work of the MDA. Viewers can also donate directly to the MDA through a TikTok LIVE feed donation sticker, making it easier than ever to support this important cause.
TikTok is proud to be a platform for individuals with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases to share their stories and promote understanding and awareness. Creators with these conditions have helped spread awareness and gain a following by being themselves.
The telethon will be aired live on the LOL! Network's TikTok channel on Saturday, October 24, 2020, from 5-7pm PT. It promises to be a true revival and expansion of this historic event.
