THURSDAY CAT COUNTRY COMMENTARY

(Listen daily for the Rod Pedersen Commentary at 9:50 am and 5:20 pm on Cat Country 98 FM)

WE INTERRUPT TODAY’S COMMENTARY TO BRING YOU A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM OUR FRIENDS AT GREAT WESTERN.

SASKATCHEWAN PEOPLE HAVE LONG BEEN KNOWN FOR HELPING EACH OTHER OUT IN TOUGH TIMES. AS A PROVINCE, WE’RE PERHAPS FACING THE TOUGHEST TIMES WE EVER HAVE WITH COVID-19.

GREAT WESTERN HAS COME TOGETHER WITH THE ROD PEDERSEN SHOW ALONG WITH ALL SASK WHL TEAMS, THE RUSH, THE HUSKIES AND SOON TO BE ALL SJHL TEAMS TO RAISE MONEY FOR SASKATCHEWAN FOOD BANKS.

THE 32 FOOD BANKS ACROSS SASKATCHEWAN ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT AS THEY’VE BEEN HIT WITH DEMAND NEVER BEFORE SEEN.

THE FIRST PHASE OF THE CRISIS RESPOND FUND WILL SEEK TO RAISE 6-MILLION DOLLARS AND GREAT WESTERN WILL DONATE THE FIRST 16-THOUSAND DOLLARS AS A SYMBOL OF ORIGINAL 16, AND THE ORIGINAL FOUNDERS OF THE BREWERY.

ALL WE’RE ASKING IS FOR YOU TO CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE SKFOODBANKS.CA AND HAVE A LOOK AT THE HOPS TO HELP FUNDRAISER. THERE’S A BANNER TO CLICK ON AND DONATE RIGHT NOW. AS THE SUMMER GOES ALONG, THERE WILL BE EVEN MORE EXCITING ITEMS TO BID ON LIKE VIP LUXURY SUITE NIGHTS AT RUSH AND HUSKIE GAMES IN SASKATOON. BUT THE SITE WAS LAUNCHED NOW BECAUSE THE NEED IS NOW.

HOW DIRE THIS GETS IS ANYONE’S GUESS, BUT THE GUYS AT GREAT WESTERN FELT THE NEED TO ACT NOW, AND CAME TO US TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE.

IF YOU CAN HELP OUT, THANK YOU. IF YOU CAN’T OR ARE IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE, PLEASE REACH OUT TODAY.

AS GOOD SASKIES, WE ARE REALLY ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

THAT’S TODAY’S ROD PEDERSEN COMMENTARY ON CAT COUNTRY 98.
