Get ready for a rolling good time as we battle it out on the Bocce Court for Christie Lake Kids!
Published on

Get ready for a rolling good time! In honour of our co-founder, the late Toni Guimaraes, and his support for Christie Lake Kids (CLK), we’re hosting his favourite game (after ice hockey that is) and bringing the business community together.
On Tuesday, September 19th, 2023, we’re inviting companies to battle it out on the bocce court. We’ll raise money for disadvantaged children and youth, and see what organization in the Nation’s Capital will win the first Bocce Cup for CLK.
Here’s the thing, bocce is anyone’s game. No skill required. No gender advantage. Think: a ball game that is NOT golf. You get to play as a team…win and lose as a team too! Click HERE for bocce rules.
Our co-founder was a CLK camper himself. As newcomers from Portugal, Toni’s family faced many challenges – and he was fortunate to be invited to Christie Lake Kids Camp for many years in a row, at no cost. CLK invested in him, and he consistently gave back. Toni passed away in 2016 at 51 years old after an arduous battle with advanced prostate cancer. He’d be thrilled to see us play his game, and raise money for his cause.
