The roots of the Pegasus Project trace back to April 6, 2018, when 16 people were killed in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
A one-of-a-kind 1968 Ford Mustang 427 Fastback from Saskatchewan is set to hit the auction block at the annual Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.
“It’s a monster of a car. It is so stunningly beautiful,” said Kim Coates, one of the ambassadors of the Pegasus Project.
The multi-year project started in 2019 to raise funds for STARS’s fleet renewal campaign, but the roots of the campaign trace back to April 6, 2018, when 16 people were killed in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
“The Humboldt Broncos bus incident inspired us, and the stories of so many others whose lives have been saved by STARS propelled us forward to this exciting conclusion with absolute enthusiasm,” said Vaughn Wyant, co-chair of the project.
Kaleb Dahlgren first learned about STARS on that fateful April evening.
“They saved my friend’s lives on April 6, 2018, and they also save lives every day,” said Dahlgren, one of 13 survivors of the crash.
The former assistant captain of the Broncos is donating all proceeds from his memoir Crossroads to the Pegasus Project.
“I want to know that my work is going to have an impact and save people’s lives,” said Dahlgren, another Pegasus Project ambassador.
