Media Advisory / Photo Opportunity - Canadian Olympians Natalie Spooner and Jayna Hefford to Celebrate Jumpstart Red Ball Campaign in Fredericton

FREDERICTON, Sept. 29, 2014 /CNW/ - On Saturday, October 4, Canadian Olympic Gold medallists in women's hockey, Natalie Spooner and Jayna Hefford, will visit Fredericton and spend the day with the community. Natalie and Jayna will be at the Canadian Tire store located at 1110 Smythe St. to celebrate the success of the Jumpstart Red Ball campaign, an annual month-long fundraising initiative that helps kids across Canada get off the sidelines and into the game.

During the month of May, Canadian Tire stores across Canada participated in a friendly competition to collect the most $2 donations in exchange for a Jumpstart Red Ball and Canadian Tire store #035 in Fredericton was one of the top stores, giving away 13,716 balls. Jumpstart is a national charity that gives kids from financially disadvantaged families the opportunity to participate in organized sports and physical activities by assisting with costs associated with registration, equipment and/or transportation.  All funds raised go directly towards Jumpstart, and one hundred per cent of donations made in Fredericton will go to help kids in Fredericton.
