She�s not a business, she�s one human being who got in her car, with her kids in the back, and drove around picking up donations. To date, more than $26,000 in cash and more than $10,000 in formula has been donated to the cause. One of the donors to the cause was from a young mother who volunteered formula just days after her own baby had died, leading Krepart to name her campaign in his honour: The Magnus Hay Formula Drive for Winnipeg Harvest. Within eight days, she had driven across the city several times, raising $7,486.96 and approximately $900 worth of baby formula. Her initial goal was to stockpile baby formula for the food bank, beginning with a goal to raise $200.
�Don�t share this post, don�t like it, just give $5 or a can of formula and I�ll drive to your house and get it,� she wrote. Susan Krepart, an on-air talent with 99 Fresh FM and CJOB, took to her Facebook account to begin a plea for donations. Susan Krepart A journalist turned stay-at-home mom decided she needed to do something when she heard Winnipeg Harvest waqs down to 11 tins of baby formula.
He�s also an active member of Winnipeg�s Bah��i community, and is an avid volleyball player who recently coached a Manitoba team at the North American Indigenous Games. Bighorn currently works as a program manager for Pathways to Education, a student support program that accompanies youth on their journey to graduation. Bighorn credits this experience, as well as the teachings of his grandfather, as being central to all of his efforts in service to individuals, families, and communities. The program helped transform many of the generational cycles that have hindered growth in the lives of the youths� families. Once here, Bighorn, who is of Lakota heritage, invested himself entirely in his work at Southeast Collegiate, where First Nation youth began a movement that eventually became the Mino Bimaadiziwin Program, which seeks to promote a balance of spirit, body, and mind. Bighorn moved to Winnipeg to be closer to his wife Meleyna�s family after the couple met in Calgary in 2004. Jordan Bighorn He may have been born in Seattle, but Manitoba is where Jordan Bighorn has chosen to make a difference. For ticket information, go to ourmanitobaheroes.ca. Lyle Bauer, Jordan Bighorn, Ace Burpee, Susan Krepart, and Carson Shields will be honoured at a gala dinner on Sept. And in his downtime, Shields volunteers at Red Road Lodge, collecting clothing donation for the homeless. He�s spoken at numerous schools, hockey programs, and at the University of Winnipeg, where he recently graduated with a degree in conflict resolution studies. Since then, Shields has set up an email account and received hundreds of messages from athletes sharing their experience in a wide variety of sports. It was with Transcona that he came out with his story. After completing the work and transforming himself, Shields returned to hockey � this time as a coach � under his old teacher, coach, and friend Bruce Sirrell, first at the high school level, then with the Transcona Railer Express of the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League. Shields struggled in his day-to-day life, his actions and behaviour out of control, until enrolling in an anger management program. The River Heights native, who was an assistant captain and all-star for the Kelvin Clippers, experienced a hazing that sent his life into a self-described downward spiral after moving to junior hockey that lasted well beyond when his career ended in 2009. Carson Shields A victim of hazing while playing junior hockey, Carson Shields rebuilt his life and offered his help to those who went through similar ordeals.
