All donations raised from the Back the 'Pack Scholarship Weekend will be matched through a generous gift made by Abbott Wealth Management. Every single dollar donated this weekend will go directly towards supporting student-athlete scholarships.
"We are incredibly grateful to everyone with Abbott Wealth Management for supporting our student-athletes," said
Curtis Atkinson, TRU director of athletics and recreation. "With fans allowed back in attendance for the first time in a long time this weekend, this seemed like the perfect way to celebrate alongside one of our outstanding community partners."
Fans 12-and-over attending the games will be required to show proof of full vaccination through their online BC Vaccine Card. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to beat the lines and get into the stadium in a timely manner.
Matches are scheduled to take place at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday night. On Friday night there will be a Stingray tent playing music, a Gyldi's Pizza food truck and the first 250 TRU students to enter will receive a complimentary WolfPack t-shirt.
