News Release $10,000.00 Raised for Cancer Research Date: Dec. 6th, 2007 The Canadian Cancer Society was the recipient of an impromptu auction held at the 2007 Bourgault Dealer Convention in Regina on December 6th. |

Saskatchewan Roughrider star Matt Domingues appeared at the event to assist in the unveiling of the company’s latest product, the 6700ST Air Seeder. After the unveiling, Matt signed a football that was later put up for auction to the Bourgault dealers at the gathering. That evening, the Bourgault territory managers conducted the auction, and the bidding was fierce! The amazing generosity of the Bourgault dealers demonstrated how cancer has affected so many people, both directly and indirectly. The total quickly grew before the astonished crowd, culminating at $10,000.00 from a joint bid by John Bob Farm Equipment of Tisdale, and Farmworld of Kinistino. All the money will go to the Canadian Cancer Society and is designated for cancer research. Funds designated for research go to the National Cancer Institute of Canada.
