Three organizations receive $20K cheques from Ripley Rumble
Three local organizations are reaping the benefits of the incredibly successful Ripley Rumble in Melfort.
The Professional Bull Riding (PBR) event was organized by Ripley Ford owner Mark Ripley and others, and was held in the lot beside the Ford dealership in June.
Between the money raised from the PBR, and a matching donation from well-known philanthropist Malcolm Jenkins, event organizers were able to present three $20,000 cheques.
“We’ve got to thank all of the sponsors in the community to come together for a great event to be in the position to write those cheques,” Ripley told northeastNOW. “It’s pretty humbling to be able to do it, but we certainly have to have the community support and people behind it to do that.”
