Last week, Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Don McMorris and the Kinsmen, Kinettes and Kin Clubs of Saskatchewan, announced TeleMiracle Week begins Sunday, Feb. 19 and culminates Saturday, Feb. 25 when the 47th edition of the telethon gets underway.

“Thanks to the good will and generosity of our province’s people, TeleMiracle is one of the many annual Saskatchewan events that brings everyone together for a greater purpose,” said McMorris.

“I encourage everyone to support this wonderful fundraiser by tuning into watch the telethon and let your family, friends and neighbours know to ‘ring those phones’ to donate to a great cause for Saskatchewan residents.”

The fundraiser starts at 6:15 p.m. on Feb. 25 with the Countdown to TeleMiracle streamed live on the website www.telemiracle.com.

At 9 p.m. that same day, the live television broadcast begins on CTV throughout Saskatchewan and Lloydminster and continues until 5 p.m. on Feb. 26.

Viewers should also keep an eye out for members of the Lloydminster Kinsmen Club as they will be presenting their cheque from proceeds generated through their steak night fundraiser, held on Feb. 4.

“TeleMiracle has been rooted in Saskatchewan for 47 years,” said TeleMiracle 47 Chair Scott Lamb.

“We are proud to carry on this tradition that helps so many people all across this province, year after year.”

The Kinsmen Foundation provides specialized mobility and medical equipment to people and organizations throughout the province, as well as travel assistance for residents in need of vital medical treatment outside their home community.

Beside calling in pledges during the telethon broadcast, donations can also be made anytime online at www.telemiracle. com
