Stampeders Shine Bright with Community Focus
The Calgary Stampeders have been making waves both on and off the field this season, showcasing their dedication to the local community.
Honoring Community Champions
Receiver Jalen Philpot was recently named the recipient of the Stampeders' prestigious Herm Harrison Memorial Award, which recognizes a player's contributions to the community. Philpot, a rising star, has made it a priority to give back and inspire the next generation of football fans.
"I'm a fan of the CFL and a fan of guys in my community who touched my life and showed me what it's like to be a professional football player — to have as much love playing the game but also giving it back to the community and just passing it forward," Philpot said.
Raising Awareness for a Worthy Cause
The Stampeders will also be hosting their annual Pink Power game this Saturday, dedicated to raising awareness and funds for women's cancers. For players like Derrick Moncrief and Mark Vassett, the cause holds a deeper personal meaning, making the event all the more impactful.
Momentum Building on the Field
While the Stampeders have been making headlines for their community engagement, they've also been building momentum on the field. With a 6-5 record, the team remains in the hunt for a playoff spot, thanks in part to a resurgent performance from quarterback Cody Fajardo.
The Stampeders will look to continue their push for the postseason this Friday when they take on the Edmonton Elks in a crucial divisional matchup.
