A global pandemic and a region being labeled a ‘Red Zone’ did not derail the Bishop’s University men’s basketball team from continuing a holiday tradition that spans back more than a decade.
The Gaiters raised $2,117 for the three high schools of the Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB), Alexander Galt, Richmond Regional and Massey Vanier, through an online Christmas Basket Campaign.
Led by former Galt Piper and current Bishop’s Gaiter James Murray (Stanstead, Que./Champlain-Lennoxville) and his teammates, the Gaiters ran a digital campaign to raise funds in lieu of their usual bagging groceries at Provigo Lennoxville. Provigo also collected donations on the Gaiters’ behalf for the first week of the month.
