Richard Harris “Pay It Forward” Social and Teddy Bear Drive to be held at Assiniboia Downs on October 29, 2011

One of our long-time clients, Assiniboia Downs is pleased to announce they will be hosting the Richard Harris “Pay It Forward” Social & Teddy Bear Drive on Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 7 p.m.

Proceeds from the social will be used to benefit the Heart & Stroke Foundation and KidSport Manitoba in the name of the late Winnipeg Blue Bomber defensive line coach, Richard Harris.

Sanctioned by the  Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the social will be an “Indoor-Outdoor” event in true fall football fashion. The location will be on the main floor and outdoor tarmac at Assiniboia Downs.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers players and personnel will be in attendance and there will be a Silent Auction with some very cool items, as well as 50/50 draws, social fare, music and dancing.

All funds raised will go towards supporting the Heart & Stroke Foundation and to Football Manitoba to cover the cost of playing football for youth who otherwise would not be able to play.

The Teddy Bear Drive will honour “Richard’s Bear Hugs” and anyone who brings in a new teddy bear will have a chance at a special prize draw. The teddy bears will be donated to local charities.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster here at a cost of $20 and only 2,500 will be sold.

See you there!
