COATS FOR KIDS 2014 ANNOUNCED
The Huddle Up Foundation and the Knights of Columbus are pleased to announce the launch of Geroy’s Coats 4 Kids 2014.
Last year was the inaugural Geroy’s Coats 4 Kids campaign. Because of Rider Nation’s generosity thousands of coats were put on deserving children in the province. Still, there were not enough coats to meet demand, and some children went without this basic necessity.
With the help of the Knights of Columbus, the Huddle Up Foundation is taking Geroy’s Coats 4 Kids across the province in the “Coat Off My Back” campaign. The concept is simple – take to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to share the story of the coat you are going to give to Geroy’s cause, and the friends you are nominating in a short video. Please use the hashtag #coatoffmyback when sharing.
Not a single kid should go to school cold this winter, so please help spread awareness of this important initiative.
On October 3, 2014, before the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ home game against the Calgary Stampeders (8:00 p.m. kick-off), please bring your new and gently-used winter coats to the Pre-game Fan Fest for collection. Attendees will be treated to a special Geroy’s Coats 4 Kids concert by country music star Jason Blaine in celebration of this year’s campaign.
In Regina, coats can be dropped off at each of the Dilawri Group of Companies dealerships. For additional donation details and campaign information, including newly-launched province-wide drop-off, collection as well as distribution centres, please visit coats4kids.ca or huddleupfoundation.org
One quick point:
Every parent who needs to rely on this program should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
This is Brad Wall's Saskaboom. You all have opportunities never before imagined previous to 2008.
Go out and get a job at many of the minimum wage retail establishments that have popped up in the fine city of Regina.
For shame, for shame.
Y'er Welcome
Obama
Rod?! Why do you give this clown a forum, like a Sports blog, to spew his political bullsh*t? Quite frankly, most of us are sick of him already.
Who's going to bite? Haha
Are you bored today Obama?
Paco
I normally don't comment on here, and generally ignore a certain Faux US President, but this is garbage.
Impeach NObama.
Brad
Umm I think you just bit Paco – tempting I know but I'll pass. Still the dickhead makes a good point.
@Paco,
…I wouldn't say I'm bored. Where you enjoy sitting back and counting your millions to pass time I would much rather have robust dialogue.
Two sides of the same coin I suppose.
…I'm just f'in with you. Don't feel the need to email to clarify where you're coming from.
Y'er Welcome
Obama
Nice NFL ball!
Obama never makes sense talking football. He does have a crude sense of political irony. Make no mistake he is no Rick Mercer but the contradiction of kids needing coats in a have province that features grow Saskatchewan makes the most ardent hippocrit blush. BTW I will donate but with much anger and many questions directed at the government and their friends who get so far ahead that they forget the many left behind.
Good on RP for giving space to Geroy and his cause and having the patience for a crude political response.
That's it – had enuf of that guy who took the name of the US Pres & for this forum for allowing it……. won't be back – and taking sponsorship $$ with us… goodbye.
I'm also gone forever from this blog too because of this As5clown
It's about the kids. To poorly quote a very wise man … 'some kids didn't win the ovarian lottery' … most of us did even though we pretend everyone has the same starting point. 14000 coats last year not enough? In good times? Way to go Geroy!
I just can't believe that Obama uses the name of what will go down as one of the worst presidents in US history.
Speaks to the mentality I guess…
Premier Wall
Obama plays with dolls in his mommy's basement and gets to post on this blog after nap time.
Obama, man up and meet the people you're shilling'.
Name the time and place and fellow blogsters will meet you there.
Sorry, do you need "man up" explained to you?
…like Ray Rice's wife, you'll be back because you can't help yourselves.
Y'er Welcome
Obama
Okay,
…and just suppose I say I'll be a X on this date and time. Do tell, what exactly would you have to say to me in person?
My guess not a thing, you'd stand there cottom mouthed. I'd introduce myself, and you'd be pretty shocked.
Yeah, worst President. If you mean turning around a recession, and ending two wars, and providing health care. What a guy.
Y'er Welcome
Obama
…..now Brad Wall he did raise minimum wage to $10.20 so these people in need of coats should really have no excuse now…..
…great legacy that guy is building. Born on third base, and things he hit a home run when he scores.
Done
Obama
Hmm.. hard to have an educated on this one as a Canadian by stander who only gets juicy facts from the media but Ill try. Lets face it. The pres. was dealt the worst hand ever and not only is he going back to war, from all accounts his attempt at healthcare has been a bit of a disaster on many fronts. Guess you cant bankrupt a country that size but theyre sure trying! What do you do I guess when you only have 8 years to build a legacy and you have a mess like he was left to… Read more »
Still think he should have legalized pot nation wide though. They could use the tax dollars and so could we. Booze and ciggarets are a far worse health burden than weed so it may be time for the dinisaurs to get with the times
Byob
