So the question now is how far will you go for People in Need, and your local community? The campaign in County Roscommon needs as many events as possible to take place throughout the county and urges all sports groups, dance groups, classes, schools, companies and individuals to contact the Roscommon office on (090) 66 28393 or (090) 66 28725 or email Roscommon@telethon.ie and register your event. No event is to big or to small and every euro counts to get calling today. The most important aspect of Telethon is what’s raised in County Roscommon stays in County Roscommon.
