Pat’s Driveline and The Gear Centre in Lethbridge, AB are collecting bottles and cans for the Bottles4Boulet project!
Ryker Morrell is a 9th grade student at Winston Churchill High School, and the Founder and President of a non-profit charity in Lethbridge called Bottles4Boulet.
Bottles4Boulet raised over $2,500 in their first year which translated into 11 local children being able to play sports that they may not have been able to otherwise. All Bottles4Boulet proceeds go to the KidSport Lethbridge Taber Logan Boulet fund ‘So ALL kids can play’!
Pat’s Driveline branch manager, Mark Luedtke, was interviewed by Bridge City News about the company’s support of the Bottles4Boulet event. Click here to read the full story: https://www.bridgecitynews.ca/news/bottles-4-boulet-in-2nd-year-to-honour-humbolt.
