$2500 was raised during the Camp Breakaway Charity Day held at Canton Beach Sports Club on Thursday 9th May, and marked the ninth year that Canton Mixed Bowlers have held this event.
The format for the day was mixed triples played over two games of 11 ends with lunch in between.
At 10am 84 eager bowlers took to the greens to do battle for the generous prize money on offer and, of course, for the prestige of being declared the winners of a major event on the calendar of Canton Mixed Bowlers.
Camp breakaway is a non-profit charitable organisation and a registered service provider for the NDIS, but receives no government funding. This facility specialises in providing much needed respite care for people with disabilities and their carers.
The amount raised in one day was a credit to the hardworking Canton Mixed Bowlers Committee but would not have been possible without the support of Wyong Leagues Club by waiving the Green Fees, and member, Paul Pollack, who canvassed local businesses for donations that enabled a huge raffle to be run.
A big thank you to all who participated to make this day such an outstanding success.
