Weekend Ball Tourney Being Held to Celebrate the Life of Beloved Martensville Resident

Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger

This weekend, the community will come together to celebrate the life of Mike Smith, a well-known resident that touched the hearts of countless others who sadly passed away on May 21st following a hard fought battle against cancer.

A ball tournament dubbed ‘Hit Mike Home’ is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 27th that was initially organized to help raise funds to help with expenses to bring Mike back to his Martensville home, and instead will now be held as a Celebration of Life for Smith. All funds raised through this event will go towards the Smith family to help with expenses incurred during their efforts to bring Mike home. The tournament will now include a slideshow and an opportunity for people to share their stories on how Mike touched their lives.

A ‘Hit Mike Home Fundraiser’ Facebook page has been created, which currently has a wide variety of silent auction items available which can be bid for online, and at the tournament this weekend. Auction items include a bbq, electric fireplace, signed jerseys, fire table, golf package, concert tickets, smoker, bistro set & patio heater, television, doggie daycare package, and much more.

“We are so grateful for the support we have received for this event and could not think of a better way to honour such an amazing man and his family. Mike made such a huge impact on not only the people around him in his day-to-day life, but to anyone that had the privilege of meeting him, even for a moment. Thank you to everyone that has helped out in any way with this event and we encourage everyone to come out. There will be a concession, beer gardens, 50/50, raffle table and silent auction,” ‘Hit Mike Home’ organizer Angie Reddekopp stated.

In addition to the tournament, Warman Fire Rescue will be hosting a Pancake Breakfast and Open House from 8am-11am on Saturday, May 27th, with all donations going towards supporting the Smith family.

“A month before, our Firefighters unanimously decided to pay for all of the supplies ourselves and any donations that came in would go directly to the Smith family. Firefighters are a close community and we always have each other’s backs. In this case, we just wanted to do something for a great firefighter and his family. Mike and the MFD firefighters would do the same for us,” WFR Chief Russ Austin stated.
