Community support continues for Drumheller’s Community Football Association (DCFA). Twelve year old Aisen McInnis collected $232.52 from his bottle collection and donated it to DCFA.
Drumheller’s Community Football Association (DCFA) invites everybody out to a super Saturday of football at the DVSS fields.
Starting off the day at 9 a.m., the association is holding a food drive in support of Drumheller’s Salvation Army Food Bank. People are able to drop by the football fields to make a donation of a non-perishable food item. DCFA’s Heather Zuccatto said it’s a way for the association to be giving back to the community.
The boxes or bins to collect donations should be available until around 2:30 p.m.
The peewee Tim Hortons Terrapins will be playing their last home game of the season with the Sylvan Lake team, game time 11:00 a.m.
“The community has been very good to us after the break-in, we’d just like everybody to come out and enjoy the game,” said Zuccatto.
The two peewee teams will be hosting guest coaches from the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders - for the local Terrapins, that guest coach will be Stamps quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell. As of press time, the name of the second guest coach was unavailable.
The guest coaches, along with mascot Ralph the Dog, are expected to arrive at the football fields around 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
Following the Terrapins game, the Bantam Titans take to the field for their game with Strathmore at 1:30 p.m.
This is the Bantam Titan’s last home game until the playoffs, and team manager Robin Duncalf said the Bantams will find out Saturday where they are in the standings and when their first play-off game will be.
Zuccatto said the DCFA has continued to receive community support this week since their buildings were vandalized in September.
One example of that is 12 year-old local football player Aisen McInnis. McInnis donated over $200 to the Drumheller Community Football Association that he made from cashing in bottles from his own bottle drive.
Rocky Mountain Equipment’s visit of the Canadian Football League’s Grey Cup trophy helped out local community football.
For the Grey Cup’s visit Monday, October 6, Rocky Mountain Manager Brock Harrington arranged with Drumheller Community Football to have visitors pay a five dollar fee to have their photo taken with the cup, with the proceeds going to support the football association.
DCFA reports they received $235 from visitors photos with the Grey Cup.
