Galilea Montijo, ready for the tenth TeletónUSA, exclusively shares great news with us about what would happen with this year’s collection… What? TelevisaUnivision will celebrate it by redoubling the commitment to solidarity, donating 1 dollar for every dollar donated by the public, so that with this collection another CRIT could be opened in the United States.
Yes, one more dream of this wave of solidarity that year after year unites us Latinos in favor of our children who, thanks to the free treatments they receive at the Teletón Children’s Rehabilitation Center (CRIT) in San Antonio, Texas, have changed and even saved their lives .
But although there are many success stories, the waiting list is long, and the dream of opening another CRIT in the country could be getting closer.
-Another year of emotions and dreams for TeletónUSA, and this time with a super surprise from part of TelevisaUnivision
Galilea Montijo: Happy for life to be here for another year, but it is a very special year because we are celebrating 11 years… How fast it is said! But how many things have happened to get here, 11 years of TeletónUSA, and of course, we could not celebrate it without all of you, we cannot be here without each one of those who have believed in this cause, of those who have donated every year.
–What about What is this ‘Giving Tuesday’ about?
Galilea Montijo: It is super news where, yes indeed, Univisión Foundation double the amount. If you give a dollar, they will double that dollar. It is wonderful, because imagine if we achieve the amount we are expecting, plus one dollar this year, our president Fernando Landeros said, we would be thinking of another CRIT here, in another city in the United States, and that would be one more dream to come true, this would be wonderful. If you are at home, you are listening, you are watching us, it is time to double that donation because someone else is thinking of doing it, and that is something wonderful for all our children at TeletónUSA.

Galilea Montijo: No! nothing, nothing, what you want to donate, is what is going to double, and that is wonderful, that is great news. It is very important that our people know that the largest contribution is made by you and me from home, many people might think that the large contributions are made by donors, sponsors, and this is not the case, the largest amount that comes together is the one that you do from home Imagine today is the day to give, today is the day to unite, and so that this amount can be doubled and we can have, perhaps, great news at the end of this TeletóNUSA.
This tenth edition of TeletónUSA will be broadcast on I live on Saturday 11 of December from 11/ 9 Centro 7 AM Pacífico, on Univision with a simulcast on Galavisión in the United States Unidos, and for the first time exclusively by ViX in Mexico and the rest of Latin America.
