With this year’s incredible generosity added, the total raised by TeleMiracle since 1977 is now over $165,112,717 million.
“TeleMiracle remains rooted in Saskatchewan and the generosity of Saskatchewan people really shined through once again this weekend,” says TeleMiracle 48 Chair Tyler Hall. “These donations are going to help so many people across the province.”
One of the many highlights of this year’s show were the 75 talented Saskatchewan performers who appeared throughout the telethon. Not only did these acts showcase the scope of talent from every corner of the province, they also raised money for the telethon – which was once again matched by Nutrien, who presented their donation of $100,000 just before the end of the broadcast.
“Every dollar counts and we are so grateful to the people of Saskatchewan for their continuing support,” states Hall. “The best part is that all the money raised stays right here in Saskatchewan, to help their friends, neighbours and communities.”
As of 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 25th, a total of $6,112,717 has been raised The telethon featured 75 talented Saskatchewan performers and a tribute to longtime host Bob McGrath.

The Foundation typically receives over 1,000 applications for assistance annually.
