Harley-Davidson winner rides for prostate cancer
Serendipity is a wonderful thing. Witness the outcomes from the 2016 Brooks Prostate Cancer Benefit raffle.
First prize of a 2016 Camaro from Shaganappi GM was won by Malcolm Albery-a long-time supporter of the Brooks Benefit. Albery chose to return the car and donate one-third of the proceeds to the 19th annual Brooks Benefit taking place Jan. 27, 2017 at Hotel Arts.
Second prize of a 2016 Harley-Davidson was won by long-time supporters Sheila’s Drapery’s Ted and Karen Knapik.
Karen also bid-and won-the silent auction item Head of the Pack at the 2016 benefit. The item sees the winner ride at the front of the parade during the Motorcycle Ride for Dad taking place in June.
Karen had just finished taking her motorcycle driving course and hoped that some day she would be able to buy a bike. Karen will proudly lead the parade on her newly won Harley. How cool is that?
Third prize of two tickets anywhere WestJet flies was won by Kirk Hudson. Hudson won last year’s raffle prize of a 2015 Harley-Davidson.
Serendipitous indeed on all three counts. It is with a heavy heart though that the 19th annual Brooks Benefit-themed Billy Horror Picture Show-will be our last hurrah. The event has raised more than $7.7 million since inception and with any luck, the final event will see us hit the $8-million mark.
