Fox Chapel Area Telethon Total Tops $101,000
Fox Chapel Area School District students held their 36th annual telethon December 23, 2025, and raised $101,001. This year’s total brings the money raised by Fox Chapel Area students and staff to more than $1.37 million over the last 36 years for various local and regional charities.
The telethon raised money for the local organization Fox Families Care and involved students from all six schools in the Fox Chapel Area School District (Fairview, Hartwood, Kerr, and O’Hara elementaries; Dorseyville Middle School; and Fox Chapel Area High School). Student, teacher, parent, and community representatives participated in the telethon benefiting Fox Families Care by making donations. Additionally, this year, anonymous donors through Fox Families Care matched donations up to $50,000. The public may also still make donations at https://www.foxfamiliescare.
The telethon was broadcast beginning December 23 on the Swift Fox Media YouTube Channel at www.youtube.com/@SwiftFoxMedia
The telethon was coordinated by the Fox Chapel Area High School Fox Leadership Council and the high school's video production students, who plan and produce the event.
Fox Families Care is an organization that works to bridge the gap between the needs and resources of children and families in the Fox Chapel Area School District. The group invests in the needs of local children and works directly with the district in conjunction with other strategic community partners.
