The Mississauga Indoor Football Association (MIFA) was able to raise a car full of food for the St. Martins of Tours Parish food drive last Monday through the annual MIFA Turkey Bowl at Mississauga Valleys.
For several years, the Thanksgiving tradition sees the White Knights, led by musical artist and community coach Dennis “Devylle” Green against MIFA program coordinator Liston Bates and his teammates on Liston’s Lyric (Entertainment).
As well, organizers were grateful for contributions from volunteers such as Sheridan College athletic therapist student Scott Teske and commentator Dwayne Drummond.
“(The volunteers) view it as a huge event,” said Bates. “I’ve had volunteers emailing me afterwards saying thanks for letting me be part of it and that’s a big deal.”
The fundraiser was also seen as a precursor and registration session for MIFA’s Friday Night Lights men’s league, which begins Nov. 4. For more information, visit mifafootball.com.
