Record breaking Telethon result

This year’s Telethon raised an impressive sum of £273, 736 with over 385 pledges of support for the College’s fundraising Campaign. This total not only exceeds our original target of £180,000 but also those totals of previous Telethons at St John’s! Over the course of two weeks, our 12-strong team of dedicated student callers spoke to 610 Johnians, well over half of whom (69%) decided to make a gift to the Campaign, despite the current economic climate. This included a substantial number of new donors.

Over the last five years, the Telethon has raised over £1.8 million (with matched funding in the first year) towards the St John’s College Campaign. With over 20% of Johnians now participating in the Campaign, we are well on our way to establishing a longstanding endowment for the College.

A heartfelt thank you to all those who contributed to this year’s Telethon. On behalf of the Development Office, I would like to thank everyone who supported our endeavours to help make this year’s Telethon such a success.
