CHARITIES

 

The Parksville Lawn Bowling Club is involved in several fundraising events throughout the bowling season. We hold club tournaments, club draws and open tournaments where monies raised are donated to various charities within our community. Among these are: the War Amps, Hospice Society and Cancer Patient Care. We also donate to the Legion Poppy Fund and the Salvation Army Food Bank.

 Shades of Pink/Ladies Day, August 10/2016

 

 

 



 

 

 


 

Shades of Pink

 Description of Tournament: The ladies dress in pink, have three players on each team, play with two bowls each, and play six ends per game in a round robin tournament. The winners are determined by points scored and ends won. This is a competitive tournament with a trophy. The gentlemen of the club don beautifully stitched pink aprons to serve lunch. They also prepare and set up the greens for play and do other related chores. This is a challenging fun day for the women members supported by our men. The club house and green are decorated in pink with tables set in a formal manner. All money raised goes to support Cancer Patient Care in our Community. There is no budget, all money and prizes come from donations, volunteers and the entry fee paid by participants.

Following is Janys (Miss Pinkie) receiving  Julie Sabiston's donation of  her painting, "Thetis Island Beach" for raffling at August 2013 Shades of Pink Cancer Fund Raiser.

 

Our motto is “Making Life easier for cancer patients and their families.”

The club members are proud to have raised approximately $4,706.00 to-date.


 

 Penny Drive February 16

Over $220, in the form of pennies, was donated by members and the public. The final sum will be combined with money to be raised in August during our Shades Of Pink day.

Below, "Karl" popped in with 15lb. weight of pennies
