A nationwide chain of 7-Eleven stores will attempt to raise in excess of $1 million for the 1976 Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Funds for the telethon will be generated from several different sources, including:

  • donation of a portion of the purchase price of a special 24 ounce Jerry Lewis "Slurpee."
  • a $.10 contribution from the sale of each "Hot To Go (HTG)" sandwich.
  • another $.10 contribution for every cup of hot coffee sold on the eve of Labor Day.

The stores will also encourage their more than three million daily customers to support the telethon through a campaign to "Let Jerry Lewis Keep The Change For His Kids" by placing change received from purchases in a special canister located on store counters.
