The 2003 Chilean telethon (Spanish: Teletón 2003) was the 18th version of the charity campaign held in Chile since 1978, which took place on November 21–22, 2003. As in the previous year the theme of this version was "The Telethon is Yours" (La Teletón es tuya). The amount of money taken during the day suggested the goal would not be achieved, in the end it required a cash assistance by the Government of Chile to meet the goal. The poster boy chosen for the event was Camilo Valverde.
The 2003 edition marked the Teleton's silver jubilee year and much attention was given to the work that it had garnered for a quarter century.
