Parsippany, NJ (September 2, 1999) – Helping to find a cure for muscular dystrophy, ERA Franchise Systems will make its 22nd consecutive appearance on the 1999 Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Labor Day Telethon to present contributions raised by its members. A national corporate sponsor of MDA, ERA will present checks totaling $1.1 million to host Jerry Lewis during the telethon broadcast. The donation represents funds raised by ERA member brokerage offices nationwide.
"Through their contributions, ERA brokers and sales associates have shown tremendous generosity and compassion," said Jerry Lewis, MDA national chairman and host of the 1999 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. "Our long-standing partnership with ERA has made a difference in the lives of those affected by neuromuscular diseases."
ERA joined MDA in its fight against neuromuscular disease in 1977. Since then, ERA members have raised more than $28 million to fund research and provide services to help the more than one million Americans affected by muscular dystrophy. ERA member brokers hold various fundraising events throughout the year, including golf tournaments, walk-a-thons and auctions to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
