On Friday, October 31st, the Lake City Secondary Girls Rugby team will be holding its First Annual Ball Gown Game.

The girls will each be obtaining a $50 sponsorship from a local business and will play an inter-squad game on the Senior field, fully adorned in their favourite “Ball Gown” — displaying the name of their sponsor.

All proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Coach Morley Wilson said if any local business wishes to support the girls, or if someone has a “Fabulous” dress in their closet to contribute, it would be appreciated.

The team travels this weekend on a good old fashioned  “Barn-storming Tour.”

They play in Vanderhoof Friday afternoon, they play teams from Houston and Smithers on Saturday, some games in Prince George on Sunday, then they will head home, Wilson said.

The First Annual Ball Gown Game kicks off at 2 p.m., during D-Block, at the Williams Lake campus.
