HUMBOLDT 鈥� To raise funds for this year鈥檚 TeleMiracle, the Humboldt and District Kinettes are selling Little Caesars Pizza Kits.
鈥淧izzas are always a great fundraiser around Humboldt,鈥� said Kelly Soderholm, president of the club.
鈥淚鈥檝e had these personally so it was kind of me that said, 鈥楬ey, these are really great, these are fun, they鈥檙e fast.鈥欌��
For each pizza sold, the Humboldt Kinettes receive $6 to go to TeleMiracle.
TeleMiracle is part of the Kinsmen Foundation, which provides funding to Saskatchewan residents requiring special needs equipment, as well as travel assistance to those needing to leave their community to access life-saving medical treatment.
Funding is also provided to institutions and health foundations to purchase specialized, new or innovating equipment to improve health care.
Traditionally, the city鈥檚 Kinettes would host a pancake breakfast in collaboration with the Knights of Columbus to raise funds for Telemiracle. This brings them about $1,600.
Soderholm said due to the pandemic, the breakfast isn鈥檛 a possibility this year, and instead they鈥檒l be attempting to raise the funds with the pizzas.
鈥淲e thought of this one because the pizzas are frozen. When you pick them up you鈥檙e not contacting anybody, nobody is coming in my house, they鈥檒l be outside, [and] you pick them up.鈥�
She finds she personally likes the kits because of the preparation speed and taste.
鈥淵ou get the pizza crust, you spread your sauce on, you get your cheese and your meat with it, and they鈥檙e ready in like 10 minutes,鈥� she said.
鈥淩ight now when you鈥檙e raising kids you need fast things, and they鈥檙e fun because you get to make them yourself.鈥�
Detailed instructions on how to place an order can be found on the Humboldt and District Kinettes Facebook page.
