Poker Tournament Fall Fundraiser -Jeff McFarlane This year, we had another Poker Tournament for our fall fundraiser on Oct. 21, 2009 at the Club Regent Casino. Again, a rousing success thanks to the great people with the MLCC, the Blue Bombers and Joe Aiello from CITI FM. Over 75 people participated, including Obby Khan and a handful of Bombers. Joe Aiello from 92CITI FM lasted the longest of our celebrity participants, and had to be on the air the next morning at 5am. Thanks Joe. Kelly Kellner of the Canadian Poker Tour was in town, and posted a bounty on himself. He pledged to give a free CPT membership to whoever knocked him out, but he ended up gaving away a seat for the CPT player of the year tournament, valued at $5000, because it was a CPT member that knocked him out . Top prize was almost $4000, we paid out the top 8 and 9, 10 and 11 got nice prize packs. A great time was had by all, and everyone is looking forward to next year's event!
Heel 'n' Wheel-a-Thon 2009 - Sunday June 14, Canadian Mennonite University 
What a fantastic day for the 2009 Heel-n-Wheel-a-thon! It was the first hot and sunny day all spring. Couldn’t have asked for better and nicer day to go for a stroll in support of CCFC. We not only had people strolling, but also runners, roller bladders and wheelers. Thank you to everyone who raised funds, participated and supported this year’s HNW! We were able to raise $28,306 for medical research! Thanks to our HNW committee members, event day volunteers, our Honorary Chair and emcee, Diane Mauthe for your hard work towards making a successful event. And of course, no event would be possible or as much fun, without the generosity of our local businesses.
