(l-r) Heather Franciotti, a volunteer, and Joelle Mclellan, organizer of the Hell on Wheels versus Heartland baseball game, show off almost $1000 worth of donated items for the Drumheller and District Humane Society.
Drumheller and District Humane Society was given a donation from two Calgary television series.
The cast and crew of Hell on Wheels and Heartland came together in a charity baseball game on August 9 at Renfrew Ball Diamond in Calgary.
At the end of all the day’s competition, the winning team got to donate to a choice charity, which ended up being Drumheller and District’s Humane Society.
Joelle Mclellan has worked for Heartland for two seasons and Hell on Wheels for four seasons and organized the ball game between two television shows.
“The event was done to bring fellow cast and crew members together outside of the film set for a fun filled day,” explains Mclellan. “This year we focused on a pet charity.”
Mclellan was born and raised in Drumheller. Living in Nacmine now, she thought it was only right to give back to the community.
Altogether, the event raised almost $1000 in gifts for Drumheller and District’s Humane Society’s animals.
