The WHAS Crusade for Children, established in 1954 by WHAS-TV, raises money for agencies, schools and hospitals to make life better for children with special needs.

Since 1954, the Crusade has raised more than $154 million, giving critical assistance to millions of children in 120 Kentucky and 50 Southern Indiana counties.

The money donated in Kentucky stays in Kentucky and, likewise, money donated in Indiana stays in Indiana. No money is sent to any other national charity or organization.

The Crusade returns 100% of each donation to agencies that directly improve the lives of children with special needs.

Get in the holiday spirit with Brenda Lee

“Little Miss Dynamite” Brenda Lee rocked the Kentucky Center with a rousing version of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” The year was 1994 and the song was a timeless part of the WHAS Crusade for Children telethon in Louisville, Kentucky.
