Purolator Tackle Hunger
The Calgary Stampeders are once again pleased to team up with Purolator Inc. to play host to the annual Purolator Tackle Hunger food drive in support of the Calgary Food Bank. Fans can bring non-perishable food items or cash donations to Purolator volunteers stationed at the stadium gates. In return, fans will have the opportunity to receive a digital photo with the Grey Cup and enter to win a signed Charleston Hughes jersey. Last season, the generosity of Stamps fans resulted in a record total of 157,100 pounds of food being collected for the Calgary Food Bank. Let’s set a new record this year!
