The 44th annual Weyburn Communithon will be broadcast live from the Weyburn Legion beginning on Friday, October 24th at 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 25th.
As always, the ultra-local telethon will showcase a lineup of entertainment and other features to help out seven essential non-profit organizations that provide life-changing services throughout Weyburn and surrounding areas.
The Communithon Entertainment Committee is now accepting applications for entertainers - singers, dancers, actors, jugglers, martial artists, yoga instructors, and anyone who has a unique talent to share with the community.
The deadline to apply is October 1st. Find the application link HERE. Once completed, email your form to communithonentertainment@gmail.com
In addition to local talent, this year's entertainment will include some mainstays and new features, such as Office Olympics, an Air Bands Showdown, kids' favourite Monster Mash Dance Party, and the live on-air final episode of The Weymazing Race. These fun features are open to individuals, community groups, and workplaces, and are guaranteed to entertain while supporting a meaningful cause.
While the longstanding theme of Communithon is 'Fall in Love with Communithon', this year’s exciting new sub-theme is 'Communithon is Coming Home'. This is because the event has now completely come home to Weyburn, with the formation of the Weyburn Communithon Foundation Incorporated.

This special theme celebrates the heart of our community, returning to our roots with live, in-person entertainment and renewed energy to support seven essential local organizations: Big Brothers Big Sisters Weyburn, Canadian Mental Health Association Weyburn branch, CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind), Weyburn Care-A-Van Society, Envision Counselling & Support Centre, Inclusion Weyburn, and Southeast Advocates.
The Weyburn Communithon Foundation hopes to bring everyone together and exceed their goal to make a lasting difference across southeast Saskatchewan.
