The telethon in Iowa has been going on for over 40 years and they raise millions of dollars every year to help the children of Iowa. Stephanie Del Valle along with the Miss World Organisation had the privileged to visit some of the places that used Variety dollars, such as, Mercy Hospital, Orchard Place, YESS, and Blank Children's Hospital. The Miss World Team was given the opportunity to see how these places use the money and how it benefits the lives of the children of Iowa.

The telethon started on Friday march 4th, at 7 pm and ended at 12 and then continued on Saturday from 7am to 6pm. The event involved live entertainment on the stage, interviews at the phones, and specialised bikes being donated to kids who need them at Kids Korner. After the successful completion of the event, Variety was able to raise $4,162,143 for the children of Iowa.

For the reigning Miss World, it was an incredible experience to see so many people come together in order to help the ones in need. The event was a lot of fun and was a humbling and heart warming experience. Stephanie expressed her gratitude towards the event and said, “Thank you all so much at Variety in Iowa for making this experience so memorable and for helping the lives of so many every year.”
