The Moose Jaw Kinsmen Club raiser around 30 thousand dollars Saturday night thanks to some hard work and the generosity of local supporters.

 

Dennis Hull put on a great show, and the Moose Jaw Kinsmen Club had another successful Sports Celebrity Banquet Saturday night.

Assistant Chair of the Banquet Cory Olafson says 5 thousand dollars from the proceeds will go to the Moose Jaw Multiplex, bringing their total contributions over the last two years to 30 thousand dollars. "We had a lot of great items on both the silent and live auctions. We raised over 40 thousand dollars through the auction but those aren't our final numbers yet."

The top auction item was a pair of Pittsburgh Penguin Jerseys signed by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin that was purchased for 11 thousand dollars by Rockport Transport.

The funds left over after the donation to the multiplex will be used by the Kinsmen Club for their other projects in town like parks and the Sportsplex.
