STAMPEDERS ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM

Wednesday, April 26, 2006 - 12:00PM

Devitt & Forand and Nabors Canada Jump On Board As The First Two Sponsors

On Tuesday, April 26th the Calgary Stampeder Football Club and Calgary High School Sports announced a program which will give another alternative for athletic funding to High Schools in the Calgary area who participate in sport.

The cost of operating a high school football team continues to escalate. With this new program in place, schools will have the opportunity to help raise funds for their athletic programs.

To build the program and to ensure that every Calgary High School is adopted, the Calgary Stampeder Football Club will be looking for new potential sponsors to jump on board and purchase a package of 50 Stampeder Season Tickets. Sponsors of this program will receive some added benefits along with a full tax receipt. These tickets will be allocated to different schools of the sponsor’s choice. High Schools will have the opportunity to use these season tickets in creative ways to help raise funds.

The Calgary Stampeder Football Club along with Calgary High School Sports would like to thank both Devitt & Forand and Nabors Canada for agreeing to be the first two sponsors of this program. The Stampeder organization and Calgary High School Sports is current looking for new potential sponsors who may be interested.
