AUGUST 12TH WAS DECLARED DON NARCISSE DAY IN SASKATCHEWAN
Don Narcisse Day presented by SaskEnergy in support of KidSport™ was held on August 12th. Narcisse, who now resides in Texas, was welcomed back to Saskatchewan as part of the Canadian Football League's (CFL) Hall of Fame induction weekend. In 1998, Narcisse approached SaskEnergy with a concept. For every football he caught during a game, SaskEnergy would donate funds to a charity close to his heart. And the concept of “Catch For KidSport™” began. This program continues to this day, raising $374,000 on behalf of KidSport from 1998 to 2009. Narcisse continues to show his generosity to Saskatchewan children by donating proceeds from his memorabilia, including the football he caught during the 1989 Grey Cup win, Rider game-worn jerseys and many other items that will be available for auction. The charity beneficiary of the auction will be KidSport™.
