After many years of trying to find a new home for their lawn bowling green, the members of the Sunshine Coast Lawn Bowling Club have decided to close the books on their venture, but wanted the money in their club to be used for good.
When members recently gathered to decide upon the fate of their club, they whittled down the list of organizations they were considering until there was just one left. By mutual agreement, they decided to donate the remaining funds of $10,000 to the Sunshine Coast Hospice Society through the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation endowment.
“It’s an incredible and totally unexpected gift,” said Denis Fafard, Coast Hospice president. “We’re so appreciative that this money will be held in our endowment in perpetuity and continue to benefit the Society and our community year after year.”
While the dream of a new green is over, these seniors know their money is staying on the Coast and supporting those who are living into the end of their days or are grieving.
