The Sturgis Kinsmen and Kinettes are preparing their 37th annual Mini-Miracle and organizers have said they have a full stage of talent lined up.
The annual Mini-Miracle is scheduled for March 2 at the Sturgis Composite High School, said Eugene Boychuk, Kinsmen co-chair.
Sturgis Kinsmen Mini-Miracle has raised $826,561 over the past 36 years, Boychuk said. “Our goal this year is to raise another $30,000.”
“People can call their pledges into the Sturgis Composite High School or give their donations to participants along the road through the hospital bed push or mini marathon events,” he said.
The Preeceville Hospital is once again gearing up towards its annual bed push on March 3. The bed push will leave approximately at 2 p.m. from the hospital and make its way downtown and along the highway to Sturgis. The proceeds will be presented at the Sturgis Kinsmen and Kinettes annual mini-Telemiracle, which will be broadcasted live on CJGX-94 radio station on March 3.
The Sturgis Kinsmen will also be collecting donations along their marathon run from Canora to Sturgis on that same day, he said. The marathon of Sturgis Composite High School students, SRC members and Kinsmen members will leave Canora approximately at 11 a.m. and make their way back to Sturgis.
“The Sturgis Kinsmen and Kinettes are in their 37th year of the mini-Telemiracle,” said Daniel Wasylenchuk, co-chairman of Mini-Miracle. Eugene Boychuk is the other co-chairman.
“Amy McDade, the GX-94 star search winner, is scheduled to perform along with a whole slate of local talent. James Betts and Shayla Ulmer will be joining us in Sturgis from the list of entertainers scheduled to perform at Telemiracle,” he said.
Telemiracle Teddy is scheduled to make his rounds to the schools in the area the week prior.
Sturgis Kinsmen and Kinettes will be travelling to Saskatoon to work some shifts at Telemiracle and will be making their own on-air presentation from what is raised during the Mini-Telemiracle on Sunday between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.
The annual Telemiracle broadcast will be from TCU Place in Saskatoon on March 4 and 5.
