Nice. It's good to see them supporting grass roots football.

That's terrific!

Now let's hope that the guy in that picture with the red face and three heads can get the treatment he so desperately needs.

For years partial proceeds of the Elks 50/50 draw have gone to the Huskies and Wildcats.

Yes. Absolutely.

By the way, I thought that every team was already reaping the benefits of having 50/50 draws. Which teams are missing out?
