T-Wolves “Fill the Bus” campaign massive success after TWO trailers filled with bottles
PRINCE GEORGE – Every Year the UNBC Timberwolves Student-Athlete Society hosts their annual Fill the Bus campaign. This year the group was up at Art Knapp’s Sunday collecting bottles for 17-year-old Jocelyn Kerr who was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
It was one of the biggest bottle drives Prince George has seen so far and massive support was shown. After the first 30 minutes of the drive, the truck which was substituted as “the Bus” was halfway full with multiple people from around the city driving in with their bottles to donate. And although Jocelyn was in Vancouver for treatment, the support she has received hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Multiple updates were sent her way with pictures of the truck slowly filling up with bottles and her reaction at the end was both blown away and amazed that a city showed so much support. Funds raised will go toward travel expenses and groceries, as well as medication that isn’t covered and helping the Kerr family cover expenses staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
