Thirteen young athletes from Weyburn were chosen to play for the South Sask Selects 11u, 12u, 14u and varsity teams.

And next month (February 20-25) they'll be on their way to San Antonio, Texas to participate in the 7th annual Pigskin International Tournament. Which is sure to be the trip of a lifetime, but it will also cost them a pretty penny.

So the boys from Weyburn decided to hold a Football Fundraiser Supper this past Saturday night, and it was a HUGE success!!!

With almost 300 people in attendance, the boys are looking to receive close to $550 each towards their goal.

They also held a bottle drive on Sunday, which brought in close to $800 for the boys to share.

"I think donations are not necessary now, as we want other organizations to be able to benefit from Weyburn’s generosity as well," said Wayne Cuthbert, Head of the Weyburn Selects.

Back to the fundraiser on Saturday... The night saw a number of celebrities in attendance. With Saskatchewan Roughrider Deffensive Lineman Eddie Steele headlining the night.

Take a look at our VIDEO from the night and see some of the best moments that took place.
