By Joan Janzen

Brooke Boisvert, a Grade 8 student at Elizabeth Middle School in Kindersley, is excited to hear she has been accepted to perform at TeleMiracle 49! This is the second year Brooke will perform at TeleMiracle, and she’s delighted! “I want to be the reason to save a family and change a life,” the 14-year-old explained.

The live broadcast can be watched online or on CTV Saskatchewan on March 1-2. “My friends like it because they can watch my performance on TV,” Brooke said, who will be performing a lyrical dance at TeleMiracle 49.

She’s been dancing since she was three years old, but began to pursue it more seriously at the tender age of nine years. “I’ll probably dance until I graduate and at university, if I can,” she said.

Spending an average of eight hours a week dancing doesn’t leave Brooke with much free time. Nevertheless, she has set a fundraising goal of $2500 in pledges for the Kinsmen Foundation. In addition to her online campaign, she plans to go door-to-door for those who appreciate the face-to-face sales approach.

“I’ll go to different businesses all over town,” she said, thinking she might even be able to exceed her goal. It’s a cause close to Brooke’s heart as she has family and friends who have directly benefitted from the proceeds of TeleMiracle.

The Kinsmen Foundation funds equipment for individuals with mobility challenges, organizations, group homes, and non-profits. It also provides funds for medical travel, meals and accommodation for individuals who need access to medical treatment outside of their home community.

Once again, the community of Kindersley is excited about watching Brooke’s performance at this year’s TeleMiracle. Congratulations, Brooke! Thanks for all your hard work.
