In October, 1985, Michael Jackson flew to Australia to attend The
Perth Telethon, a program that raises funds for hospitals and
charities focused on health and protection of children. Not only
does Michael’s appearance skyrocket donations, he also donates
two fedoras and a pair of rhinestone socks to be auctioned off
and funds donated to the cause. After his appearance on the
Telethon, which raised over 2.8 million Australian dollars,
Michael visited the ‘Princess Margaret Children’s Hospital’ where,
he spent hours meeting terminally ill
patients, singing autographs and giving out gifts.
