Nine-year-old Gage Goetz decided to do his best to help others.

In his life, Gage has gone through two heart surgeries, both of which took place in Edmonton. He is now living a life where he will be seeing a pediatric cardiologist in Saskatoon until he is an adult.

Gage and his parents know better than many how important it is to have contemporary equipment and services available at your hospital.

So the family has started a fundraiser named Gage Goetz – Outram Madigan Beef 4H Club Steer Auction that is running on the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation's website. They are raising money for the Frog Pod Cardiology Unit at the new Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon.

So far, they had $450, but the main part of the fundraiser is ahead. On July 4 Gage will auction Sammy, a steer he raised, at the annual Rotary 4H Auction in Estevan. This will help to hit the goal that is currently set at $7,500 and thus will help to build the so-needed cardiology unit.

Anyone willing to support Gage and his initiative can find his donation page online at

Or come bid on a steer at the beginning of July.

We will have more on this story, as the information becomes available.
