Among the performers is Jennifer Haas of Yorkton.
“This is my first time performing on Telemiracle, and I am super excited to have been chosen,” said the 37-year-old Haas who was born in Winnipeg.
While it will be a first on the Telemiracle stage, Haas who is a Grade 7 and 9 teacher in Melville, has performed locally.
“I sing the anthem at Yorkton Terriers home games and perform at other events as well,” she said.
So why audition for the long-running fundraiser?
“Telemiracle has always been near and dear to my heart,” offered Haas. “One of my favourite quotes is to ‘be the change you wish to see in the world.’ –Ghandi. I always strive to do everything I can to pay it forward. One small act of kindness can change the world, and I like to lead by example and show my students that they can make a difference too. Telemiracle has helped so many people across Saskatchewan and I’m so grateful to be part of it.”
Haas has seen the good work up close too.
“I have had students in previous years that have been blessed to have received help from the fundraising efforts of Telemiracle,” she said.
Haas auditioned live in Regina.
“It was a really great experience. Everyone was so kind and encouraging,” she said.
In terms of a song Haas is going with a favoured piece.
“I have chosen to perform a cover of ‘The Good Ones’ by Gabby Barrett. It was also my audition piece! It is one of my favourite songs,” she said.
As for when Haas will perform you just have to tune in to see.
“I will be performing during the main show between which will be viewable on CTV in Saskatchewan starting at 9pm on March 5th until 5pm on March 6,” she said. “It will also be live-streamed on the homepage of telemiracle.com as well.”
