THE Over 60s Bowls Association brought together bowlers from across the region for a day of fun, friendly competition, community spirit, and to raise funds for GV Hospice on Wednesday, February 4.
The event raised a generous total of $2,112 in donations, all of which will go directly to support the vital work of GV Hospice in providing palliative care in the community.
104 participants took part in the day’s activities, with many local businesses generously contributing prizes, raffle items, and support for the event.
“We’re thrilled by the incredible generosity shown by everyone who participated in the Over 60s Bowls Day,” said Graham Crawford, President of the Goulburn Valley Over 60’s Bowls Association.
“This is a wonderful example of how sport and community can come together to make a real difference. We couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who contributed, from the bowlers to the businesses who donated and the volunteers who helped organise the day.”
The funds raised will go towards equipment, ensuring that GV Hospice can continue its essential services, providing comfort, care, and support to patients and families facing challenges with life-limiting illnesses.
“We are deeply grateful for the support from the Over 60s Bowls Day,” said Wendy Ross, GV Hospice Chief Executive Officer.
“This donation will help us to provide valuable equipment free of charge to our patients and their families. We are fortunate to be part of such a caring and compassionate community.”
