Back 2 School Drive

The 2nd annual Back 2 School Drive will take place at Friday’s game, an initiative created in 2014 by Bianca Raymond, wife of veteran Stampeders defensive back Keon Raymond, to help local students in need.

Fans are encouraged to bring backpacks filled with basic school supplies to the game. Volunteers will be located in the east parking lot at McMahon Stadium near the Crowchild Trail pedestrian overpass in addition to the southeast and northwest gates.

Fans making a Back 2 School Drive contribution will be automatically entered into a draw for a signed Keon Raymond jersey.

Items collected will be distributed to young students in need by The Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary and Calgary Women’s Shelter.
