Returning TeleMiracle hosts include long-time cast members Beverley Mahood, Brad Johner, Jeffery Straker and the TeleMiracle House Band — Sheldon Corbett, Jack Semple, Dave Chabot, Don Griffith and Glenn Ens.
New faces joining the TeleMiracle 50 cast are TSN host Kate Beirness, Saskatoon radio personality Clayton Kroeker, Regina-born country artist Jojo Mason, and actor and producer Sera-Lys McArthur, a proud member of the Nakota/Assiniboine Nation.
Additional cast members will be announced closer to the broadcast.
“This is an exciting milestone,” said Danika Dinko, executive director of the Kinsmen Foundation. “These extra hours give us time to highlight talent across Saskatchewan, showcase memories, and create new ones.”
The show will also feature performances from Saskatchewan musicians including The Steadies, Northern Air, Brodie Siebert, Munroe & Patrick, Brock Andrews, and Jay & Danica, among others.
A new feature this year is the “Backstage Lounge” — a livestream offering exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content. Hosting the lounge will be disability advocate and former TeleMiracle cast member Shailynn Taylor alongside Gary Nickel of Dufferin Ave Media Network.
Limited seating will be available for those who wish to attend the telethon in person at Prairieland Park. Donations can be made during the broadcast or in advance at telemiracle.com/donate.
TeleMiracle, which began in 1977, has raised more than $171 million for the Kinsmen Foundation. Funds support Saskatchewan residents with medical travel assistance, mobility equipment and other special needs — continuing the Foundation’s mission of “Helping People Every Day.”
