The Children of Saskatchewan Are Smiling!

The sun is rising on a dedicated Children’s Hospital in Saskatchewan!  On April 2, 2011 Wiegers Care for Kids Inc. hosted the Care for Kids Comedy and Cabaret that featured the world-famous comedy of Brent Butt and the musical entertainment of Saskatoon’s own Studio 54 band.  With the generous support of our friends and clients, Wiegers Care for Kids Inc. raised an incredible $100,000 – a significant contribution toward the development of a much-needed hospital for the children in our province.

Wiegers Financial & Benefits, along with Wiegers Care for Kids Inc., extend a special thank you to our generous sponsors and supporters.  The children of Saskatchewan thank you too – now and for many, many years to come.
