TORONTO - The Toronto Argonauts are donating $4 million to the Hospital for Sick Children's foundation as part of a new partnership announced Wednesday.
As part of the deal, SickKids Foundation becomes the official charitable partner for the 2007 Grey Cup, which is being held in Toronto on Nov. 25.
Players from the Argos and visiting teams in town will make visits to the hospital during the week leading up to games and several benefit events will be held during Grey Cup week.
The Argos plan to host a SickKids Game Day, online auctions and a player ambassador program, featuring Jonathan Brown, Chad Folk, Jeff Keeping, Jude St. John and Brian Ramsay.
SickKids is also renaming the green space in front of the hospital the Toronto Argonauts Children's Plaza.
