Corporate Sponsors of the MDA Telethon

Below are the names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, and website addresses for most of the major corporate sponsors of the Jerry Lewis Telethon. If you decide to write to these companies to ask them to drop their sponsorship of the Telethon, please follow the following guidelines:

• Be courteous.
• Explain how the Jerry Lewis Telethon insults people with disabilities and damages our rights and dignity.
• If you choose to do so, you may tell a little about yourself - your disability (if any), your relationship to the disability community, and your relationship to the company (customer, employee, family member of an employee, etc.) Sharing personal information is entirely optional, but it can make your letter stronger and more compelling.
• Politely request that the company considers withdrawing its support from the Jerry Lewis Telethon.
• Suggest that if the company still wishes to support MDA, it could do so without supporting or appearing on the Telethon.
• Suggest other ways that the company can aid the disability community - for example, hiring people with disabilities as employees; ensuring that all company facilities and functions are fully accessible to people with disabilities; supporting organizations in their communities which works for rights and opportunities for people with disabilities.
• Provide your name and address.
• If you like, email me a copy of your letter to the company, as well as any response you receive. I can post your correspondence on this website. This will help us all to monitor the companies' responses, and it will provide examples and encouragement for other people to write letters as well.
