Well-known Toronto ‘Dancing Cowboy’ Ken Pompey and his famous baseball player son, Dalton, are on a mission to help frontline workers obtain much-needed personal protective equipment.
The elder Pompey is Co-founder and Managing Director of No Wait Walk-in, an online gateway to total health care under one integrated network.
He is best known as the ‘Dancing Cowboy,’ some 30-years ago when he was a top dancer on the Electric Circus TV show that ran on MuchMusic and Citytv from 1988 to 2003 and was filmed at the station’s Queen St. W. studios.
Dalton, who was born in Mississauga, is no slouch either and played major league baseball as a centre fielder for the Toronto Blue Jays from 2014 to 2016.
Today he and Dalton have teamed up to get hospitals, and other healthcare professionals, some much needed personal protective equipment through their No Wait Medical Foundation.
They are taking part in a campaign with Great Lakes Brewery to raise funds to purchase hospital grade masks, gloves, gowns and goggles for Mississauga’s Credit Valley Hospital to protect medical professionals at the forefront of patient care.
For each and every can of Electric Circus Tropical Pale Ale sold, Great Lakes will donate $.75 (per can) to Ken and Dalton to help them obtain the much-needed gear.
“Our brewery is extremely grateful to all the hardworking women and men in our terrific healthcare system who continue to help battle COVID-19 day in and day out,” GLB officials say.
“We are thrilled to work with Ken and Dalton to get these amazing individuals, and organizations, the protective equipment they need in order to keep themselves, and our communities safe.”
You can help the Daltons’ reach their medical goal by purchasing cans or cases of Electric Circus from GLB’s online shop at info@greatlakesbeer.com or by visiting nowaitwalkin.com to make a donation.
