The Argos invite all Big Brothers Big Sisters

Dear Friends,

The Argos invite all Big Brothers Big Sisters Alumni to attend an exciting afternoon of football on Saturday, October 1st at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.



A buy-one-get-one-free ticket of $31 will grant you and your guest to an exclusive all-access experience that includes:

A behind the scenes tour of the field and the Rogers Centre (beginning at 5pm)
An opportunity to watch both the Argos and the Hamilton Tiger Cats warm up
The chance to meet and shake hands with members of both teams
Special mention of Big Brothers Big Sisters on the Jumbo tron during the game


This is a great chance to celebrate Big Brothers Big Sisters in a public way. If you are in a current match it is also a great way to spend time with your Little, and create a day that he or she won't soon forget.



Call Dan Gaffney or James Le Huquet to order your bronze level tickets: 416-341-2715 or 416-341-2791. Pass it on!





Sincerely,
Joel Porter, Vice-President of Development

Help Support Big Brothers Big Sisters Saturday August 13, 2011 @ Burlington Legion
You can see more detail on our website, but our first ever BOSL Poker Tournament is coming up soon. Saturday, August 13th. It’s for TWO great causes – Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Nelson Youth Centre. Very inexpensive as far as poker tourneys go. $75.00 which includes Gator Ted’s food during the night. Major cash prizes and also a raffle that night for a foursome of golf at a fancy golf course.

Spots are filling up super quick, so it’s best to register/pay online for sure. I doubt there’ll be the chance to do so at the door as it’s a first-pay/first-in type of deal.
