Rescue On The Island 2020

Rescue on the Island is the flagship fundraising event for STARS in Manitoba and with the generous support of colleagues, businesses, friends and family, our participants have helped to raise over $1,8 million dollars to support the work of STARS.

The Challenge

Each participant is required to raise $50,000 and the rescue only happens when that goal has been reached or exceeded. The participants are equipped with a cell phone and have access to friends and family for morale support in the form of donations. On June 11, 2020, a group of brave community leaders will trade in their business attire for flight suits, and climb onboard the STARS air ambulance helicopter for a unique mission. Each participant will compete to raise as much money as possible to earn a flight back to civilization, using the only tool they’ll have – their cell phones. The intrepid participants will undertake a variety of challenges on the island to help secure their escape.

Our Local Participant

Sarah Normandeau, from the RM of Ste. Anne is: a Mom, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Recreational Services Manager, Photographer, Coach, Politician, Community leader, and a friend to many. Normandeau is employed by the Town of Ste. Anne as the Recreational Services Manager. More recently she entered politics as councillor for the RM of Ste. Anne where she resides with her husband Pete, and their three children Gabrielle (11), Luca (10) and Cédric (7). Sarah is often leaned on for her ideas and logistical talents in planning large scale events and coming up with outside of the box ideas. Her volunteer work is often a focal point for the entire family as she believes there is a huge benefit in teaching our youth that giving back matters most. Sarah has served on many community boards and committees including minor hockey as the female rep and is president of her local Minor Baseball program to name just a couple. Sarah loves youth and most of what she does is community orientated - planning programs, summer camps, workshops, large scale community events and festivals, and going after opportunities and grants to help her community in anyway possible.
