Big Congrats to "Scissor Sisters."  Winners of the first ever Big Brothers Big Sisters Rock Paper Scissors Challenge.

The Sisters are a team of local CIBC employees with one BBBS staffer added for good luck.  They rolled through the Championship round without losing a game.  Defeating the Clean Brite Commandos 15-11 in the final. 

For the Commandos it was a bitter defeat.  They were the Night One winners back on September 9th and came oh so close to taking home the big prize.

We'd like to thank everybody that made BBBS Rock Paper Scissors such a Big success.  Over the four nights we had more than 100 players.  Those people and the people that supported them through pledges have our heartfelt gratitude. 

We'd also like to thank everybody that helped out.  RPS committe members Kate Sorestad, Karen Parhar and Brent Blazieko. Also, all the BBBS staffers that came out each evening to help out at the event.

Finally we'd like to thank all of the local businesses that contributed to the success of this event. 

 

Paper Sponsors Affinity Credit Union.

 

Scissors Sponsors, Round One Champions, and Best Loser plate winners Clean Brite Cleaners.

 

 

WestJet and Marlin Travel.  These two companies teamed up to supply a trip for two to Las Vegas for our top individual fundraiser.  Not only that but they both sent super fun teams to the competition.  The WestJet team romped through Night Three to win it all.  Then in the Finals finished fourth.  Definately a skilled RPS outfit. 

 

Rawlco Radio.  Who supplied a lot of radio support to the event and some great prizes too.  There support made a Big difference in attracting teams and it was great to have them on board.  

 

Erotic Encounter Boutique.  Not only was their staff team a fan favourite during Round Three and the Championship Final but they also supplied a terrific gift package for the Round One best uniform winners.   

Sun Sera Salons.  Suppliers of the best uniform prize package for Round Two. 

 

 And Joes Sports Bar and Grill.  Those guys proved to be great hosts for the event.  For four nights in Septmber they let us come in and move their tables around, mess with their sound system and just generally make a nuisance of ourselves.  Errin and his staff were great to us and they even chipped in with a whole bunch of prizes.  Thanks guys!

 

We would also like to thanks Rylys Canadian Nightclub for donating free pub crawls for our top fundraising University teams. 

Sasktel for donating NHL pre-season tickets for our Night Two winners Wacky Westmount.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders for sending us Andy Fantusz and Weston Dressler signed hats to give away.

 

The Downtown Business Partnership for putting our posters up around downtown and the USSU for doing the same on campus

Jeff Rogstad and the crew at CTV Saskatoon for doing a story on us.  And Colleen Wilson at Global for having us on to talk about the event. 

Crystal Anderson and her Good On Paper team evn organized a steak night to raise money for their team.  Thanks to them and everybody that supported their event.

Final totals are still to come but all of you did a great job raising money for the children of Saskatoon.  Everybody that contriubted to this effort has the sincere thanks of our organization!

Most importantly of all, everybody that participated had a great time.  We're already working on some ideas for next year with the goal of making the 2nd Ever Big Brothers Big Sisters Rock Paper Scissors Challenge even bigger and better.   

Fundraising prizes will be determined in the days to come. Winners of the Vegas trip from West Jet and Marlin Travel and the high end camping package will be notified shortly.
