WEYBURN - A fundraiser event was held for Fred and Teresa Sandeski on Friday evening at the Weyburn Legion Hall, to help assist them to secure care as they deal with their health issues.
The Fred and Teresa Sandeski fundraiser was held in the Weyburn Legion’s Vimy Room, with music by Weyburn band Assorted Nuts.
The players in the band were Johnny Knox, Kenny Hill, Mark Girardin, Don Pokletar and Leo Alexander, and singing during the evening was Mandy Szczecinski.
One of the main organizers of the evening was Knox, and asked how the attendance was during the evening, he said, “I don’t know the exact number of people that came in, but during the night there were lots of come and go people making donations and putting it into a sealed box. I would estimate over the evening we must’ve had over 100 for sure.”
As for the amount of money raised for the couple, Knox noted they had a sealed box to take donations, and said this would be given to them directly.
“We do know that the silent auction raised about $1,400, but as for cash, donations, etc., that were put into the sealed container we do not know, and I will be giving it to the Sandeskis intact for them to open up. The amounts donated there, I don’t believe would be my business, and many of the donations came in envelopes addressed to the Sandeskis.”
