Kentucky basketball to host telethon for superstorm Sandy victims

American Red CrossHumbled by the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, the University of men's basketball team, in conjunction with WKYT, will host a telethon Wednesday, Nov. 7 from 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the American Red Cross to benefit the victims of the catastrophic storm.

The telethon will air throughout the state on /IMG Sports Network affiliates, as members of the UK men's basketball team will take phone calls and donations.  More details and telethon phone numbers will be released later.

During non-telethon hours, people can call the Red Cross at 859.253.1331 or 800.RED.CROSS. Donations will also be accepted at www.redcross.org.

The special event will also stream live at WKYT.com.
