One lucky Kamloops kid off to see the Blue Jays in the Big Smoke
KAMLOOPS — Every year, Dairy Queen restaurants across Canada take a day and raise funds for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, by donating all the proceeds for every Blizzard treat sold. Today, one lucky little ballplayer from Kamloops was the recipient of a special surprise thanks to those funds raised.
Tuesday morning was a pretty special day for one young Kamloops Minor Baseball player. Luke Webb found out he was one of four winners across Canada of a trip to Toronto to watch the Blue Jays take on the Red Sox, thanks to Dairy Queen and Children’s Miracle Network.
“It’s awesome. Four kids were chosen, one from BC and he came from Kamloops,” local Dairy Queen franchise owner Angelo Fontana told CFJC Today. Fontana sponsored the DQ Rally Cap program Luke took part in this summer. “I couldn’t be any prouder, obviously of what we do we do with Dairy Queen, and what Kamloops Minor Baseball Association does. The DQ Rally Cap program is a fantastic opportunity for all of us.”
