The Kinsmen Foundation through Telemiracle raises millions of dollars to help people and organizations
with medical expenses and equipment they can’t afford. Every year, people and businesses give to
Telemiracle from every part of Saskatchewan. Our broad support is why we call ourselves Saskatchewan’s
Charity.
That is not the only reason we’re Saskatchewan’s Charity. The donations Telemiracle receives are given
back to groups and individuals all over Saskatchewan. “I’ve been fortunate to see firsthand how gifts from
Telemiracle help people every day,” remarked Susan Colbow, Chair for Telemiracle 42. “Thousands of
individuals benefit from Telemiracle’s help all over Saskatchewan, including in my hometown of
Estevan.”
New for Telemiracle 42 is an online pre-show, Countdown to Telemiracle. The pre-show will broadcast
live from the Conexus Arts Centre starting at 6:30 p.m. It will feature more great Saskatchewan Talent.
“We’re thrilled with this new addition to Telemiracle weekend,” said Jesse Shkuratoff, Public Relations
Chair for Telemiracle 42.
Like every Telemiracle since the very first one, our Saskatchewan Talent will be a big part of the show.
This year, you can see performances from over 60 Saskatchewan acts and we know many of them will also
raise money for Telemiracle.
Nutrien is excited to team up with the Saskatchewan performers who will be onstage during the
Countdown to Telemiracle and throughout Telemiracle itself. Nutrien, a new company formed from the
merger of PotashCorp and Agrium, is continuing PotashCorp’s long-standing tradition of matching
contributions to Telemiracle! Nutrien is matching all donations, dollar for dollar, that these artists/groups
bring to Telemiracle (up to a total of $150,000).
Telemiracle has a new look and so does Telemiracle Teddy. “We decided it was time to refresh our brand,”
remarked Cindy Xavier, Executive Director of the Kinsmen Foundation. “Our new look is fresh but
familiar.” The new branding includes a website refresh as well as a new look for all of Telemiracle’s
marketing materials. Along with the new brand, Telemiracle Teddy is getting a new shirt after more than
two decades. Teddy has decided to get rid of his familiar red shirt he’s had since 1994. Teddy is now
sporting a purple shirt with a fresh new logo.
This year’s broadcast will originate from Regina’s Conexus Arts Centre. The show runs for 20 hours
beginning at 9 p.m. on Saturday, March 3. Countdown to Telemiracle will broadcast online starting at 6:30
p.m. Admission to Conexus Arts Centre to watch Telemiracle is free.
