The Saskatchewan Roughriders were winners – and so was the Tackle Hunger Program. The initiative is a collaboration between the CFL, Purolator and local food banks to gather food donations. Donors can then get a photo with the Grey Cup.

Gaspar said the program has raised over eight million pounds of food since its creation in 2003.
