EAST CENTRAL — East Central Kin clubs raised at least $146,400 for this year’s Telemiracle.
Across the whole province, the telethon, which raises money for medical expenses and equipment, raised just more than $5.6 million.
The actual amount of money can vary from community to community, with some communities choosing to pool everything donated into a single cheque, while some other communities have multiple cheque presentations depending on which organization is donating.
In Humboldt, $14,000 was raised by the Kinettes, Olymel workers and the two Catholic schools.
In Rose Valley, the amount donated by the Kin Club does not include the school.
The family of Jacob Leicht also donated $11,000 in his memory.
