Inglewood Beers and Bowls a Truly Special Day
Sixteen teams (64 competitors) took part in the sold-out Inglewood Beers and Bowls Charity Event on May 9th, with more than 130–140 people joining us on the day.
On behalf of ManUp! we would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who sponsored, donated raffle or auction items, or participated in the event.
Thanks to the incredible generosity and support of the community, we are proud to announce that an amazing $17,878 was raised on the day. These funds will go towards supporting the Inglewood Health Services and helping raise awareness of prostate cancer within the Inglewood community.
The success of the event would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, players, and everyone who attended and contributed in any way. Your generosity, community spirit, and willingness to get behind such an important cause made the day truly special.
A special thank you to the following major supporters: ACCIONA Energia’s Wind Farm ($5,000), Goondiwindi Regional Council ($1,000), Blask Engineering (Jack Sponsorship – $2,500), Proterra Group ($500 donation), and Kennards Hire Inglewood and O’Brien’s Plumbing (Bowls Sponsors).
We also acknowledge Johnstone Concrete & Quarries, Whyalla Beef, Panda Pearls, Goondiwindi Engineering, Blask Engineering, Hastings Deering Toowoomba, and the Emporium Hotel Brisbane for donating auction items for the event.
A big thank you to SPAR, IGA, Old Mates Meats, Lawrence Springborg, Jeff & Beth Brown, and the Bowls Club for donating the food for the day.
Lastly, thank you to Red Johnstone for being the MC, Shane Webcke for joining us as guest speaker and generously donating his time, and Bev McDougall for all her help both prior to and on the day of the event.
We look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the community and can’t wait for next year.
