In return, fans will have the opportunity to receive a souvenir photo with the Grey Cup and enter a draw to win a trip for two to the 2010 Grey Cup in Edmonton. In addition to the food drive, every time a CFL quarterback gets sacked throughout the regular season, Purolator will donate the equivalent of the quarterback's weight in food to the CFL hometown food bank.
