Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 3rd Annual Bocce Battle! With your support, we raised an incredible $100,000 for Christie Lake Kids and CHEO’s Youth Mental Health Unit.

These funds will help renovate the Christie Lake Kids’ camp dining hall (where nearly 300 kids gather each summer) and support CHEO’s new Mental Health Transitional Unit, which provides short-term care for children and youth.

You can read more about the day in this recap published by Caroline in the Capital HERE.

A big congratulations to the team at First Avenue Counsel, who brought home the coveted bocce cup for the second year in a row.

We’re also grateful to our community partners who made the day so special:

Wesley Clover Parks for hosting us

David and Scott of the Swan on Rideau for a delicious lunch

Merry Dairy for the sweet treats

Hot 89.9 for keeping the energy high all day long

Thank you again to everyone who played, cheered, and supported this event. We can’t wait to see you next year. Our 2026 tournament date will be announced in January!
