Special appearance by Rider CEO Jim Hopson
The Riders will match up to $2,500 in donations to the Ronald McDonald House of British Columbia
Roughrider fans put their heart into their team. They also put their heart into supporting each other as Rider Nation, and great away game causes like the Edmonton Firefighters Burn Treatment Society. This week, prior to the Oct 4th game against the Lions, Rider Nation will gather for some cheer at the Red Card Sports Bar in Vancouver, and will raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House British Columbia. The fun Begins at 3. Come get your beads, tattoos, Rider Nation Pins and more.
“Fans of the Saskatchewan Roughriders are known for their pride in their team and for their generosity to the community. During their upcoming trip to Vancouver, the team have committed to helping children and families thrive. As an organization dedicated to supporting seriously ill children and their families, Ronald McDonald House BC is thrilled to partner with the Roughriders as they host a pre-game party with donation proceeds going to the Ronald McDonald House. Said Tiffany McFadyen, Development Director, Ronald McDonald House British Columbia.”
“We hope you will join us October 4th at the Red Card Sports Bar from 3:00 pm-6:30 pm, along with the President of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders and other special guests, to raise funds to keep families together. Your donations will provide a home away from home for families who must travel to Vancouver for their child’s life-saving treatment, where they can stay together under one roof and enjoy the familiar comforts of home: hot meals, comfortable beds, and even a TV lounge to watch the game together.”
About Ronald McDonald House® British Columbia
Since 1983, Ronald McDonald House® British Columbia has opened its doors and arms to overwhelmed families who need to keep the spirit of hope alive as they engage in the fight of their lives.
Far from home. Financially strained. Emotionally drained. Every year, thousands of families travel to Vancouver in search of life-saving medical treatment for their seriously ill children. Finding themselves in a strange city and in a vulnerable state, these families long for life’s simple comforts: a bed to sleep in, a kitchen to prepare a hot meal and a couch to put up their feet after a long day at the hospital.
More than anything though, they seek a safe and affordable place where their family can stay together under one roof. Within our walls, kids undergoing treatment for cancer and other devastating diseases bask in the glow of family love. Here, parents under siege share stories with others who face similar challenges. And here, people have access to services that help put some joy and normalcy back into their lives.
Ronald McDonald House® British Columbia is more than just a place for families to stay – it’s a place for families to heal better together.
This event is made possible through the tremendous support of Tourism Saskatchewan.
