Local Lethbridge M&M Meats South location fundraises over $3000 for charity today

On May 8th, 2010, Canadians can help cook up a cure! M&M Meat Shops on Mayor Magrath Dr South in #Lethbridge hosted one of two 22nd Annual M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day's in Lethbridge benefiting Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). M&M Meat Shops franchisees, staff and thousands of volunteers from coast-to-coast will grill hamburgers and hot dogs to meet the 2010 fundraising goal of $2 million.

The Lethbridge South location partnered with Bell (@LethbridgeBELL) and Air Jump (@AirJumpInc) to raise funds for the worthwhile charity. Today's event saw some large hungry crowds happy to take in the smell of barbeque and tastes of hot M&M burgers on this chilly day.
Over $3000 was raised within a few hours at this event which shut down a tad early due to rain.
As part of this fundraiser particpants were encouraged to donate $¹to throw some velcro softballs at Air Jump's Mega Dartboard which offered prizes for all!

Scores of people showed up to Vulcan, AB on Friday to get a glimpse of Leonard Nimoy, the real Spock. During this historic event Science Officer Spock unveiled a bronze statue of himself created a bronze handprint of the famous Vulcan greeting, and left some personal articles of his that will remain on display at the Vulcan Tourism and Trek Station for 12 months.

Air Jump's JUMP FOR JOY festival details to be announced!

Air Jump Lethbridge (in partnership with Streets Alive, CKVN Radio, CTV, and the Lethbridge Herald) is working hard to firm up all the arrangements for this years annual charity fundraising festival.
Tracey Belter, Co-Owner of Air Jump Inc spoke about the event.
"Last year's exciting event at Exhibition Park brought in a huge number of people and helped raise some money for Streets Alive while giving families and kids something really fun to do in Lethbridge!"
This years event which is slated for May 29th, 2010 at Exhbition Park will be larger than ever.
"It's about bringing families together and that's what our annual event does. This year you'll see some brand new inflatable units to play all day on. We will be packing [the exhibtion] with tons of Air Jumps and activities to keep everyone busy, happy, and active all day" says Belter.
My question for the Air Jump guys is.. Will you be brining out the giant hamster ball again? For those that missed it last year- they rolled out this giant ball (well, ball within a ball actually) from behind a secret curtain and dropped some people out of it!
David Watson, Co-Owner of Air Jump Inc. replied. "That's a great question. A lot of people have been asking about the Air Sphere since we snuck it out. It was a great time! Ken Kissick and I were strapped into this thing while people rolled us out to the podium to make a speech and draw for some prizes. It was a lot of fun- hopefully we will have the chance to do it again."
What can families expect at the Lethbridge Jump For Joy Festival this year?
"This year will be jam packed with inflatable units and activities to keep you busy all day Saturday. We expect an even beter turnout than last year thanks to our great media sponsors. You can expect unlimited jumping and playing, carnival games, prizes, BBQ, snacks, draws and contests, and much more. If you have children or know anyone with kids- Mark May 29th off on your calendar. Its an event that any family is not going to want to
