Two local residents have created a fundraiser to raise money for the Drumheller Community Football Association (DCFA).
Lee Cawiezel and Ray Kristinson have put together a Stamps Fan Bus to the Calgary Stampeders game on July 18. The $60 cost includes the bus to and from the game as well as the ticket. The fan bus will be family-friendly.
Kristinson said the bus company and the Calgary Stampeders have been very generous with their prices. After the costs are covered, he said, any remaining money will go to the DCFA.
“All of the extra money, every cent, is going to the Titans and Terrapins football programs. We aren’t doing this for ourselves, we are doing this so we can all go have a good time and raise some money for the kids in the process.”
The bus will be leaving the O’Shea’s parking lot at 12 p.m. on July 18 in order to allow for travel time and tailgating for the kickoff at 5 p.m. against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Those interested in tickets can contact Cawiezel at 403-436-1395. The cutoff to purchase tickets is June 30 and Kristinson said there are only 55 seats available and over 20 have already been spoken for.
If this fundraiser goes well, he said, they will be looking to do more in the future.
