Calgary Stampeders News Release
The Calgary Stampeders, their fans, and Homes By Avi teamed up to help Calgarians in need at the Labour Day Classic this past Monday.
The groups joined forces with the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank for the 18th annual Be A Fan, Bring A Can food drive. Over $72,524 worth of food items and cash donations was raised by the program including $58,384 at McMahon Stadium gates at Monday's Classic. The one-day total collected on game day was the most in the history of the program.
Through its 18 years, the program has raised approximately $425,500 in food and cash donations. For every dollar raised the Food Bank can distribute four dollars worth of food.
Game sponsor Homes By Avi has been contributing to the cause by collecting donations since Aug. 9 at their head office and all show home locations. The Stampeders and Homes by Avi want to thank fans for their tremendous support.
The next Stampeders home game is Sept. 12 against the Montreal Alouettes. Tickets for this game and the following contest against the Toronto Argonauts (Sept. 20) are going fast so fans are encouraged to contact Ticketmaster at 403.777.0000 or go online to Ticketmaster.ca to get their tickets.
