The Nomads have called the North End of Winnipeg home since 1969, and this year team up with Lyle Bauer and Dave Black members of the Blue Bomber Hall of Fame and 3 Time Grey Cup Champions to host the Inaugural Never Alone Football Classic presented by Ivan’s Auto Body.

“This is a great opportunity to marry football, business, and philanthropy for the betterment of all. The Winnipeg Nomads have been a long standing example of commitment to the youth of the area. Ivan's Autobody and Glass have also been a cornerstone in the community for over 30 years and are committed to contributing to a better life for so many. We look forward to the partnership and a great event in support of the nomads, the community and the fight against cancer. A special thanks to North Winnipeg Nomads and Ivan's Autobody and Glass for taking the lead in this great initiative. "
