Saskatchewan residents have once again opened their hearts, and their wallets, to make TeleMiracle 47 a resounding success — raising a total of $5,519,229.
This year’s event was held in Praireland Park from 9 p.m. on February 25 to 5 p.m. on February 26.
“We've all seen the difference TeleMiracle makes, we've all known someone touched by a TeleMiracle story at some point in their life,” said TeleMiracle 47 Chair Scott Lamb.
Lamb says this year’s turnout for volunteers is one of the highest in recent memory.
“We're really happy to have the Kinsmen Kinettes from across the province. Even some of our friends in Alberta joined us to help,” Lamb said.
One of those volunteers is George Flunder from Yorkton. He has helped out at over 35 TeleMiracle events.
“So nice to be back another year, year after year and it kind of gives me that lift. You feel good all year about it,” said Flunder.
