Alouettes linebacker Nicolas Boulay is glad to announce the return of Club 52 in collaboration with the Alouettes Foundation for a third season. With this initiative, the 27-year-old will invite 52 kids to every Alouettes home game during the 2017 season for free. The kids will be chosen by different community organizations in the greater Montreal as well as in surrounding areas. These kids, who are all under 18, will have an opportunity to live an unforgettable and truly enriching experience.
Since Boulay founded the Club 52 in 2015, over 1,000 youths have been able to attend an Alouettes game. Why 52 kids? Simply because Boulay wears number 52 out on the field. “A kid told us after one of the games that it was his greatest birthday ever. Thanks to the generosity of our donours, hundreds of other kids will get to live an experience they are not about to forget. I am thrilled to keep being able to help our youths,” said Boulay, who will finance the purchase of seats via his numerous contacts.
For every home game, these kids receive a VIP treatment as they have their reserved section, they receive snacks and most of all, they get to meet Nicolas Boulay and some of his teammates after the games. The players talk with the kids and sign autographs for them as well.
The kids who get the chance to watch a game in the Club 52 are seated in section P3. They leave Percival Molson Memorial Stadium after spending a great night and are motivated and charged after meeting up with the players and other kids
