Bedpush 2026 raised a total of $135,400, the most ever in the history of event. In the 42 years of Bedpush, there has been more than one million dollars raised for Telemiracle. TeleMiracle is a telethon fundraiser benefiting the Kinsmen Foundation. The non-profit organization provides specialized mobility and medical equipment to people and organizations throughout Saskatchewan, as well as travel assistance for residents in need of vital medical treatment outside their home community.
“Participating in Bedpush is one of my favourite memories throughout my journey at the University of Saskatchewan,” said Laurel O’Neill, an Agribusiness student and the Agros public relations officer who led Bedpush. “Bedpush has truly made me proud to be an Agro and to be involved in my community and college.”
Bedpush is an exciting tradition in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources (AgBio) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask). As part of the college’s legacy, the biannual fundraiser brings together multiple generations with the Agricultural Students Association (the Agros) and members of the Saskatchewan Agricultural Graduates Association (SAGA) participating. Together, the volunteers spend three days pushing a metal bedframe from Regina to Saskatoon.
It is a family tradition for many such as Kalla Nicholas, an Animal Science student and the Agros comployment officer. Both of her parents participated in Bedpush in the 1990s and her sister participated in 2024.
“Growing up in Saskatchewan, we always watched TeleMiracle and I was raised to understand the importance of supporting the cause,” said Nicholas. “Having my family involved in Bedpush in the past made me excited to participate and experience the legacy the Agros have built over the years.”
