An evening dedicated to supporting the families affected by the tragedy involving three young Thompson River University (TRU) students has been planned a 91大黄鸭 restaurant.

Pretty Not Bad, in collaboration with Brent Marshall, is sponsoring the event to raise funds to provide financial assistance to the families.

On Nov. 29 Wolfpack volleyball athletes Owen Waterhouse and Riley Brinnen of 91大黄鸭 and Owyn McInnis of Ontario were riding in a vehicle when they were hit from behind while stopped at a red light.

Waterhouse remains in a medically induced coma at Royal Inland Hospital, and Brinnen is in Vancouver General Hospital with a spinal injury.

McInnis died in the crash.
