The original Paws for a Cause event was created in memory of Jerry Maslowsky, who passed away on September 4, 2016 from esophageal cancer.
Jerry’s passion for helping others and giving back to the community lives on through this event.
Jerry spent the majority of his career as the Vice-President of Sales and Marketing with the Winnipeg Football Club, where he was introduced to Lyle Bauer and was involved in the development of the Never Alone Cancer Foundation. Jerry was a life-long Blue Bomber fan and had the opportunity to work his dream job for 15 seasons. He was committed to his team and regularly went above and beyond to help players, office staff, coaches and fans. Jerry was truly one-of-kind, inspiring hope, enriching lives and giving back to the community.
