How TELETON was born in AACD?
At AACD, TELETON was created from the need of building new centers for rehabilitation in Brazilian States, aiming to take care of needy patients.
For more than 10 years, the entity asks for the support of the media to carry out this show, which first realization happened in Brazil in 1998.
Here, TELETON may be exclusively carried out by AACD and the financial results are also exclusively directed toward the maintenance and construction of centers for rehabilitation.
