Episode notes
In this episode of United Voices, Senior Director of Community Engagement & Communications Scott Hamilton sits down with longtime broadcaster and community champion Mike Farwell. Best known as the voice of the Kitchener Rangers and host of The Mike Farwell Show, Mike opens up about the personal experiences that shaped his lifelong commitment to giving back—including how the loss of his sisters to cystic fibrosis inspired his Farwell for Hire fundraising campaign, now surpassing $1.3 million. Together, Scott and Mike explore why volunteerism matters, how sports can strengthen communities, finding motivation during tough times, and the balance between holiday consumerism and generosity. Filled with honesty, warmth, and barn-raiser spirit, this is an inspiring reminder that we are always stronger together—and that kindness costs nothing.
