Telemiracle is a 20-hour telethon that has raised over $123,000,000 over 42 years, more money per capita than any other telethon in the world. All the money raised at Telemiracle is spent in Saskatchewan, helping the people of Saskatchewan.
The 1st TelemiracleThe telethon is a highly anticipated event each spring and features a host of national performers and Saskatchewan talent. For visiting celebrities, it’s an opportunity to participate in an event that really does make miracles happen. For local performers, it’s a chance to support their friends, family and neighbours, and to perform on a big stage to the delight of a viewing audience that spans the province.The money raised at Telemiracle provides resources to residents with specialized needs for medical assistance and equipment, such as: Walkers ranging from $300 - $600 Communication Devices on average $10,000 Conversions or adaptations for vehicles upwards of $30,000 Power Chairs and Specialty Standing chairs upwards of $50,000 Lift Chairs upwards of $4000 Travel, Meals and Accommodations for organ transplant, upwards of $20,000 Throughout the year, Saskatchewan people of all ages with special needs apply to the Kinsmen Foundation for financial assistance. The resulting miracles are varied, but the goal is always the same – to have a direct, positive affect on each recipient’s quality of life. The Kinsmen Foundation was established in 1971 to manage the money raised by Saskatchewan Kinsmen and Kinette clubs. It quickly became apparent that the demand for dollars exceeded the dollars that were available. As a result, the first Telemiracle was aired in 1977 to enable the Kinsmen and Kinettes to serve even more of their communities’ greatest needs. Today, there are over 700 Kinsmen and Kinettes who volunteer countless hours of their time in various different ways to organize and put on the show. There are also approximately 125 production people who travel from across Saskatchewan to operate cameras, audio and lighting. Combine these with the thousands of Miracle Makers across the province who generously support Telemiracle with their kind donations and you have a success! The whole province shares in the great success of Telemiracle.

Kin Canada Kin Canada – the Association of Kinsmen, Kinette and Kin clubs is proud to be an all-Canadian service organization made up of outstanding community volunteers. From coast to coast, members are enhancing quality of life in their communities by promoting service, fellowship, positive values and national pride. The Association boasts a proud 90-year history dedicated to fostering life-long friendships while 'Serving the Community's Greatest Need.'Membership – more than 7,000 members belong to approximately 500 Kinsmen, Kinette and Kin clubs from coast to coast. Kinsmen clubs are predominantly male only, while Kinette clubs are predominantly female only. Kin clubs have mixed membership of men and women. There are also three Campus Clubs in the Association, based at the University of New Brunswick, the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Regina. Clubs undertake a wide variety of local fundraising and service projects. Each club operates autonomously when determining how it fundraises and distributes those funds within the local community. More than $1 billion raised – Every year, Kin clubs contribute millions of dollars to Canadian communities. In fact, Kin members have proudly contributed more than $1 billion to Canadian communities since their Association was founded in 1920. History – The Association was founded by Harold (Hal) Rogers on Feb. 20, 1920 in Hamilton, Ont. Rogers was 21 and, after returning from the trenches of the First World War, he missed the companionship of the men he had served with. Looking to join a club, Rogers decided to join Rotary, but his application was rejected because it was Rotary's policy not to admit two members from the same business establishment (his father, with whom Rogers worked, was already a member). As a result of this rejection, Rogers and a small group of men gathered for a dinner meeting and became the first Kinsmen club, the Kinsmen Club of Hamilton. Mission Statement – 'Kin Canada is a dynamic volunteer organization enriching our communities through service while embracing national pride, positive values, personal development and lasting friendships.' Kin Motto – 'Serving the Community's Greatest Need' National Charity – Since 1964, the Kinsmen and Kinettes have proudly supported the work of the Cystic Fibrosis Canada. This year, Kin Canada's national fundraising project's total contributions will surpass $39 million – making Kin Canada one of the largest supporters of CF research and care in Canada. Association's National Headquarters – Located at 1920 Hal Rogers Dr., in Cambridge, Ont., about 100 km west of Toronto on Hwy. 401. Eight full time staff provide administrative services to approximately 500 Kinsmen, Kinette and Kin clubs. Ric McDonald is the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director.
Marilyn Monroe Received National Variety Artists Donation Request Letter
Among friends and colleagues, Marilyn Monroe was renowned for her generosity in helping others wherever she could. Below are just some of the causes Marilyn donated time and/or money to: 1953: A benefit for underprivileged children cared for by Jude’s Hospital. Marilyn sang with Jane Russell at the Hollywood Bowl 1955: Marilyn worked with WAIF, an organization that placed abandoned children in homes. Jane Russell enlisted Marilyn’s help. 1955: Marilyn’s appearance at a circus sponsored by Mike Todd at Madison Square Garden in New York City benefited the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation. She appeared astride a pink elephant. 1957: Marilyn gave earnings from the world premiere of The Prince and The Showgirl to The Milk Fund for Babies. 1962: Marilyn visited an orphanage during her trip to Mexico. Her initial donation was $1,000.00. She ripped up the check and replaced it with another for a $10,000.00 donation. That night was one of the few nights in her later life that she recalled sleeping without the aid of sleeping pills. 1962: Marilyn’s final public appearance was at a muscular dystrophy benefit held at Chavez Ravin Dodger Stadium in Los Angels on June 1, her 36th and final birthday. Marilyn’s final charitable donation was her largest: In her will, she left 25% of her estate to former psychiatrist, Dr. Marianne Kris, “to be used for the furtherance of the work of such psychiatric institutions or groups as she shall elect.” Knowing Marilyn’s enormous love for children, Kris chose the Anna Freud Children’s Clinic of London.
