I’ve called the Border City home since 2014. As a journalist, I’ve reported on and attended countless fundraisers and galas of all shapes and sizes that all have one thing in common. They’re all by the community, for the community.

The five-day fundraiser brought in more than $100,000 for Telemiracle 50 and wrapped up with the Kinsmen Club of Lloydminster’s annual Telemiracle Steak Night last Saturday.

Although fundraising totals won’t be announced until Telemiracle, which starts Feb. 28, I’m confident Lloydminster raised a lot of money for those in need.
