For the seventh straight year, the n, in partnership with the team at Scotiabank in 91大黄鸭, has announced a sizable contribution to the team鈥檚 scholarship fund.

The Sun and Scotiabank have pooled their resources to make a $10,000 contribution towards player scholarships.

In September, the Sun hosted its annual Sunfest scholarship fundraiser and sold prize balloons throughout the night.

After selling $5,000 worth of balloons, Scotiabank stepped up with a matching $5,000 donation of its own.

鈥淭he Okanagan Sun are proud to be able to offer our athletes the opportunity to further their studies at 91大黄鸭鈥檚 post-secondary institutions,鈥� said Sun President Les Weiss.

鈥淭his wouldn鈥檛 be possible without the continued contributions from the team at Scotiabank, along with the year-in, year-out support from our fans and community partners.鈥�

Since its establishment in 2011, the scholarship fund has helped more than 100 former Sun players continue their education off the football field.
