MEMBERS IN THE COMMUNITY

WE DID IT NORTH BATTLEFORD!

Home Hardware North Battleford (North Battleford, SK) volunteered their time to man the phones at the annual TeleMiracle telethon in support of Kinsmen Foundation charities. This year their efforts raised $6,130.83!

The money raised throughout the year and during the TeleMiracle telethon benefits the Kinsmen Foundation. They provide funding to the people of Saskatchewan requiring special needs equipment to maintain or improve their quality of life, as well as travel assistance to those needing to leave their community to access life-saving medical treatment. Funding is also provided to institutions and health foundations to purchase specialized, new or innovative equipment to improve health care.

TeleMiracle is a 20-hour annual telethon that is broadcast live in Saskatchewan. Despite only having a population of around one million people, the generous residents of the province have helped us raise over $153 million since 1977.
