Backstage with the Stars at Telethon
2011 marked the 33rd year Maurice Meade was involved with Telethon!
With a record breaking $13.4 million raised, Telethon 2011 was arguably the best yet!
Once again, the Maurice Meade Creative Team were backstage tending to the star's tresses. This year's lineup was incredible as always, with headline act Def Leppard leading a host of stars including Boo Boo Stewart from Twilight, David Campbell, Jon Stewart and members of the Home & Away, Packed to the Rafters & Winners & Losers casts.
A big thank you to our team of 26 staff who gave up their time & worked tirelessly around the clock! Here are few of our favourite shots from the weekend:
