Regina Pats Governor/President, Brent Parker, “The Red, Blue & Bling dinner will be a tremendous way to wrap up the events of the week surrounding the WHL Celebrity Bike Relay. We have worked with Shooting Stars on many occasions and are confident that this unique event is going to be a great deal of fun and raise significant funds towards the building of a Children’s Hospital for our Province”
