Over the last few weeks both myself and Oakville Councillor for Ward 2 Pam Damoff have been engaged in a friendly CFL rivalry. Pam is a die hard fan of the Toronto Argonauts while yours truly is a strong supporter of the Hamilton TigerCats.
Our discussions of CFL football have been documented on Twitter (www.twitter.com/PamDamoff) and our passion for our teams have lead to a friendly wager for an upcoming game between the Argos and the Ticats on Oct 1st in Toronto.
If the Argos defeat my Cats on October 1st (yes, I chuckled a bit when I said that too) I will make a donation to a charity of her choice which is the Run for the Cure Life on the Line (Twitter @LOTL_65).
Life on the Line is a nonprofit initiative supporting CBCF founded by Taylor Robertson, a pro football player who lost his mother to breast cancer when he was 7 years old. http://www.lifeontheline.ca .
Now when Hamilton Tigercats help send the Argos to the basement of the CFL East, she will make a donation to the United Way Milton (www.miltonunitedway.ca) campaign. The amount is small, only $20 but its a friendly wager indeed.
You can get involved in this as well by joining our wager and you can show your support for BOTH of our charities or if you’d like to let people know you feel the TigerCats or Argos will win on Oct 1st. I think this would be a great way to support both charities and I urge everyone to make a donation to both and a way for the people from Oakville & Milton to take part.
Both are great choices to support and I urge that you do support the Run for the Cure AND the United Way of Milton.
If you would like to donate to Pam’s Run for the Cure here is the link. If you would like to make a donation to the United Way of Milton heres the link.
Drop me a line mike@mikecluett.ca or comment on this blog to let us know who you’ll be rooting for on Oct 1st.
OSKEE WEE WEE!
