“We’re thrilled to have Jonathan get behind this initiative as a donor and ambassador,” said Foundation’s CEO Rick Frost. “He’s a sports superstar and an inspiring figure in our community. He sends a great message about the power of healthy eating.”
Toews will be feature in short videos, print ads and social media promotions to help the new fund reach its goal of $5 million.
From now until Labour Day, people can support the fund online, in person at the Foundation office or any branch of Assiniboine Credit Union, or by texting GOAL to 45678.
