The wall of support is building to repair the vandalized walls of Masich Stadium.
On Wednesday afternoon yet another call of support came to The Citizen pledging help to the facelift efforts, fixing the unprecedented amount graffiti scrawled across almost every wall about two weeks ago.
Within days of the graffiti's discovery the Kelly Road and Duchess Park secondary schools' football teams volunteered to do the painting. Decorum Painting offered to help, and then Canadian Tire owner Selen Alpay donated all paint needed to do the job.
But it wasn't done there.
"So, you've got people to paint, you've got the paint supplied now, so I guess the next thing you need is lunch, right?," said a voice on the phone. It turned out to be Kim Gill, owner of Quiznos in Parkwood and Spruceland. "I can feed a large group for a day, each volunteer should get a sandwich."
She even joked that people would love the sandwich offer so much that more volunteers would offer themselves.
"The people who are coming out to volunteer, these kids [on the football team], they deserve some reward. Their work will need some lunch. It is such a great thing they are doing, because they all get a bad rap when a few people do something terrible like this," she said.
She credited Alpay for inspiring her to join the effort, and hoped that her pledge would challenge others to help as well.
