Various media outlets such as The Score and Cable 14 have agreed to promote this event. There will be a raffle during the game featuring donated prizes like an autographed Team Canada Rugby jersey (courtesy of Rugby Canada), four Barbarian rugby balls signed by the Hamilton Bulldogs, two leather chairs valued at $1100 each (donated by Park's furniture), and an autographed Team Canada Jarome Iginla jersey (courtesy of Shoot for a Cure).
