Gee-Gees Give Back to the Community


The University of Ottawa Gee-Gees Softball team is following
through on its goal of being role models in the community this
weekend with a pair of activities designed to repay the local
community who has shown tremendous support for the team over
its 6 year history.


On Friday September 21 the team has dedicated their game against
Carleton University to Canadian Troops currently fighting in
Afghanistan as well as at home. 70 Canadians have died in Afghanistan
and this game marks the second time the two teams have worked
together to make this tribute. Both teams will be wearing special
red uniforms to support the initiative started in Petawawa by
two wives of soldiers fighting overseas. The Gee-Gees are making
a trip to the Canadian War Museum tonight to learn about the
history of the war, and how Canada has worked to support Afghanistan.


The game will take place at 7:30 at the Kars RA Center in the
south-end of Ottawa. Directions are available on our website.
All fans are encouraged to wear red.
On Saturday the team will continue to give back by running a
clinic for minor softball players in the Ottawa area. The clinic
will take place from 9:00-11:30 on Saturday morning at Pierre
Rocque Park in Orleans. The Gee-Gees are piggybacking on the
success of the very popular “Bridge to the Future” clinics run
by the ISC at their World Tournaments. All athletes are welcome.


The team gets back to business at 2:00 and 4:00 PM as they take
on the Laurier Golden Hawks who jumped to a 3-2 start last weekend.
