The starting quarterback for the Riders is adding another title to his resume.
Cody Fajardo is volunteering to become a Pediatric Ambassador for the Hospitals of Regina Foundation.
A release from the HRF says the quarterback has been thinking of ways to give back to the community and said “the obvious choice was to approach Hospitals of Regina Foundation”.
Fajardo will be donating a portion of the sales of T-shirts that have been created by the local football blog, Piffles Podcast. “I wanted to put the money where it could help the most people possible, so choosing Hospitals of Regina Foundation was a natural choice.” said Fajardo.
He will also be more involved helping to promote the importance of strong, local pediatric care here in Southern Saskatchewan.
“We are thrilled to have Cody volunteering with our Foundation to support and promote local healthcare for kids,” says HRF Vice President, Lisa Greene. “His ability to connect with kids and fans alike make him an ideal pediatric ambassador for the Foundation.”
Fajardo will be working alongside another Pediatric ambassador, 11-year old Catharine Okalita, to promote kids health care funding initiatives over the next year.
“The Foundation greatly appreciates Cody’s initiative in supporting Pediatric care in Regina’s hospitals,” says Dino Sophocleous, President and CEO, Hospitals of Regina Foundation. “Cody’s enthusiasm will go a long way towards spotlighting the wonderful work that has been done, and will continue to be done, by the community in supporting and investing in the best pediatric care possible for children in southern Saskatchewan.”
