The Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation is proudly committed to its three community pillars: Education, Health, and Amateur Football. With these commitments at its core, the Foundation is excited to announce a landmark investment of $1.8 million to support football programs across Saskatchewan.

As part of this investment, the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation, in partnership with Football Saskatchewan, will distribute 1,000 brand-new helmets to more than 125 football teams throughout Saskatchewan. These equipment upgrades are made possible thanks to the remarkable support from Rider Nation and the tremendous success of last year's ISC-sponsored 50/50 draws.

“This investment demonstrates our unwavering commitment to amateur football and ensuring that these young athletes have access to quality equipment. We are incredibly grateful to ISC for their ongoing support and partnership through the 50/50 draws, making initiatives like this possible. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Football Saskatchewan for their continued support and collaboration."

- Cindy Fuchs, Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation

“This initiative is a game-changer for amateur football in Saskatchewan. The support provided by the Roughrider Foundation will significantly enhance our programs, enabling athletes and coaches to thrive and grow within the sport we love.”

- Jeff Yausie, CEO of Football Saskatchewan

This announcement is just the first of several exciting updates regarding the Foundation’s investment in amateur football. Fans and supporters can anticipate further announcements highlighting additional projects and partnerships in the coming weeks. As part of today's exciting developments, the Roughrider Foundation recently presented a substantial cheque to the University of Regina Rams Football program on March 20th, underscoring the Foundation’s ongoing support and commitment to football excellence in Saskatchewan. The delivery of the new helmets is coming soon, and updates on their distribution will be shared via the Foundation's social media channels.
