Rep team pitches with bottle drive to help family - Youngsters encourage others to assist Bottrills

Dundas Star News - Feb 13, 2009

The Investors Group Dundas Blues Novice Rep team has been collecting empty bottles in their neighbourhoods in exchange for money to help a local family who needs community support. A week before Christmas, the Bottrill family’s happy world was turned upside down when dad Brian was diagnosed with a rapidly progressing form of ALS.

The Dundas Beer store has set up a collection jar for donations from empties. The team is also encouraging families and neighbours to collect their empties.

However, if anyone can’t make it to the beer store, team members, coaches and parents will gladly pick up their empties. Contact Chris at 298-237-2926 or chris.garofalo.@investorsgroup.com .

The collection will take place Feb. 13-15 so the team can present a cheque at the Bottrill Family Fundraiser Dance on Sunday, Feb. 15 at the Dundas Legion.
