KidSport Wood Buffalo raises $8000 during the Penalty Box campaign last week.

The campaign was brought together by our media partners Radio Mix 103.7, where two radio hosts went head to head in a fun sports-oriented challenge each day for 5 days to stay out of the Penalty Box. A make-shift scaffolding sponsored by Aluma Safway this year, housed one of them until he raised the fundraising goal for that day for KidSport.

Daily sports challenges were hosted by the following local clubs:

Bowmans Martial Arts

Northern Elite Football

FMCSD Saints

Boston Pizza downtown

Fort McMurray Youth Soccer

Keyano Huskies Womens Volleyball

It was a perfect example of how a sports community pulls together to bring a week-long fundraising campaign and make it not only successful but helps KidSport Wood Buffalo surpass its fundraising goal of $7000 and raises $8000.
