Generous donation for Guide Dogs
The Honeydew Bowling Club held their annual Allen Lewis-Williams tournament in aid of the SA Guide Dogs Association on Sunday, March 22.
The SA Guide Dogs Association has received a welcome donation from the Honeydew Bowling club during their annual Allen Lewis Williams bowling tournament held on March 22.
The event, now in its 10th year, is held annually in honour of late bowling club member, Allen Lewis-Williams, who was passionate about blind bowls, and promoting the sport among people with visual impairments.
“We decided after his passing, to hold an annual tournament in his memory with all proceeds from the day going to the SA Guide Dogs Association,” says club selector and event organiser Orla Guilfoyle.
“It has become a prominent fixture in the local bowling calendar, with clubs from far and wide taking part in the competition each year.”
SA Guide Dogs Association PRO, Pieter van Niekerk expressed his appreciation toward the Honeydew Bowling Club for their longstanding support of the organisation.
“We’ve been coming here every year for 10 years, and it is always a highlight for us,” he says. “Besides the warm welcome we receive each year, this donation will go a long way in enabling us to carry out and grow our critical services to the vision impaired community.”
