"Sturgis Kinsmen gearing up for 37th annual Mini-Miracle
PREECEVILLE PROGRESS

FEBRUARY 24, 2017 12:58 PM
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"

Kinsmen Foundation
"When the Kinsmen Foundation was established in 1971, it granted funds raised by local Kinsmen and Kinette clubs. It was soon recognized that the requests for assistance far exceeded the available funds. To meet the need, planning started in 1976 for a province-wide telethon as a major fund raiser. Telemiracle 1 was staged in Saskatoon in February 1977 and carried on a network of six Saskatchewan television stations featuring provincial and national performers.
 
Our Kinsmen and Kinette Volunteers continue to play a lead organizational role in staging Telemiracle - from answering phones to counting donations to constructing the stage. The broadcast elements of the production are run by volunteers from our partners at CTV. In all, 1000 people come together for the weekend to bring you Saskatchewan’s telethon profiling some of the people funded, demonstrating that it is the ability of individuals that is important, and providing 20 hours of fun and entertainment.   
Once Telemiracle has come to a close and the donations and pledges are finalized, the funds are turned over to the Kinsmen Foundation for distribution by its volunteer Board of Directors to special needs equipment and access to medical assistance by individuals, care homes, and health foundations across our province to improve quality of life and independence. 
For individuals, innovations like ceiling track systems, portable lifts and ramps, funded by the Kinsmen Foundation, are making it possible for people to live at home and still receive the care they need. And with equipment like specialized wheelchairs, electric scooters, vehicle conversions and communications devices, people are achieving a level of independence they didn’t think possible.
 
When people cannot access the level of care they need at home, they must often travel to health care facilities in other parts of the province or country. And while the medical procedures are covered by health care, the patients and their families must pay for their own travel, meals and accommodations. By easing the financial strain, the Kinsmen Foundation allows families to focus on what only they can provide – love and care.
 
Funding groups that directly work with people with special needs is also an important focus the Kinsmen Foundation. Across our province, loving care homes have been established with a family atmosphere to provide comfort and care to people with special needs. Kinsmen Foundation provides funding for things like ceiling track systems, specialized tubs, lifts, specialty beds and personal care equipment to make those homes even better suited to provide quality care.
 
A third area of Kinsmen Foundation funding is focused on institutions and health foundations to purchase specialized, new, or innovative equipment to improve health care. Over the years, donations of this type have been provided in every corner of the province"
