Project Ponytails second annual ‘A Strike Against Cancer 2010 another great success!
I extend my apologies to everyone for the lateness of this posting. I hope that it was worth the wait!
On May 8th, 2010, Project Ponytail held it’s second annual bowl-a-thon, A Strike Against Cancer to aide the West Island Cancer Wellness Centre. This event saw a great turnout and we again reached and surpassed our fundraising goal of $5000. With more than 70 bowlers, loads of sponsors, tons of door prizes and trophies to hand out, everyone had a great time.
We also worked with Le Couvre Tete this year and provided a wig to a West Island resident that is undergoing chemotherapy treatments. It was our honour to help this person and we hope to be able to extend this service to many other such people in the coming months.
As promised, my own ponytail was cut off that day and it will be packaged with nearly 20 others to be sent to Pantene Beautiful Lengths to be made into wigs for cancer patients that are in need.
Here is a listing of the prizes and winners of the event. Below, you will find pictures taken that day.
Trophies this year went out to:
- Tony Lew - Best Bowler
