Elisa is playing tonight between 10PM and midnight (Pacific Time) at Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon broadcast from Las Vegas.
The Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon is hosted by Jerry Lewis to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. It has been held annually since 1966.
It is held on Labor Day weekend, starting on the Sunday evening preceding Labor Day and continuing until late Monday afternoon. The show will be broadcast to nearly 40 million viewers in the United States and Canada by some 190 television stations comprising MDA’s “Love Network.” Millions more worldwide will be able to see the Telethon on the Internet via RealNetworks at mda.org.
MDA calls its network of participating stations The Love Network.
