Legendary Winnipeg Blue Bombers receiver Joe Poplawski will be part of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation RIDE for JDRF today.
The goals of this year’s ride was to raise $94,200 with 450 riders, but generous Manitobans stepped up to raise $120,000 with 500 riders.
Poplawski’s agenda includes coaching five Scotiabank employees as part of a fun-filled charity challenge at the downtown YMCA-YWCA.
The Winnipeg area Scotiabank team won the opportunity to have Poplawski join them for on-the-spot training.
Poplawski will be running the bankers through drills from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The CFL Hall of Famer played with the Bombers from 1978 to 1986.
