About Lethbridge Rams

Lethbridge Rams Football is a community-based football club based in Lethbridge, Alberta that serves youth from grades 3 – 9. Since its inception in 1968, Lethbridge Rams programming has developed into one of the most successful and respected minor football programs in Southern Alberta.

The Rams Tried Our New Southern Alberta Fill Your Freezer

We had the opportunity to speak with Bantam Coach and Treasurer of Lethbridge Rams, Justin, who helps organize the football clubs’ annual TeamFund food fundraiser.

An avid football lover, Justin joined the organization in 2019. He loves being able to give back to the sport he played for a number of years in his youth, prior to coaching.

“It’s a nice way to stay involved in football and give back to the sport.”

Currently, the Rams rent their football equipment from the city, such as jerseys, helmets, and shoulder pads. One of their current major fundraising goals is to purchase their own football equipment to support their programming.

In order to work towards this goal, Justin has run a TeamFund fundraiser once a year for the past three years.

Airdrie & District Soccer Association raised over $5800 in their June 2023 Fill Your Freezer fundraiser.

This year, the Lethbridge Rams decided to try the Fill Your Freezer, which is brand new to Southern Alberta this year.

While they had a similar amount of support from the community, Justin was happy that the fundraiser had a little bit of everything for families to choose from.

Lethbridge Rams raised over $3,200 in their most recent fundraiser this October.

TeamFund Makes Fundraising Easy With Online Tools

The Fill Your Freezer has not only bacon, but also features additional products like chicken, sausage, beef, perogies, and more. This variety of products gives supporters more options to suit every taste and budget.

Overall, Justin emphasized that he really enjoys the online aspect of TeamFund!

“It’s been really good for us. It’s nice that everything is online, it’s easy to set up and Dominique is so easy to worth with!”

Some football clubs do other fundraising like bottle drives, but Justin is happy that kids don’t have to knock door-to-door or handle cash or cheques.

The delivery process is nice and easy, with volunteers on delivery day to help organize the products. Once everything is organized, parents can swing by and pick up their orders.

Over the last three years, Lethbridge Rams Football has raised $11,373 with Bacon and Fill Your Freezer fundraisers. Read their full story:
