TRU secure speaker for Athletic scholarship breakfast/sponsor for soccer nationals
KAMLOOPS —The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack struck pay dirt when they went looking for a major sponsor for their upcoming Athletics scholarship breakfast. Not only did they secure a top notch speaker but they also secured a major sponsor for the upcoming 2017 USport men’s soccer nationals.
The WolfPack along with Athletics and Recreation Director Ken Olynyk are pleased to announce that Respect Group and its cofounder, former NHL’er Sheldon Kennedy have committed to both events.
“The Respect Group is excited to be a part of these two events,” says Kennedy. “We see this as an opportunity to raise awareness around the important work we do across Canada and to engage TRU as a beacon of leadership within the Kamloops community.”
The Respect Group was established by Kennedy and co-founder Wayne McNeil to prevent abuse, bullying and harassment. They are based out of Calgary, Alberta with the mission statement to empower people to recognize and prevent abuse, bullying and harassment through interactive online certification.
