Bocce Ball Charity Challenge a Success!

9/9/2012

0 Comments

 
On Saturday, September 8, First Presbyterian hosted the 2nd Annual Bocce Ball Charity Challenge Tournament.  Teams from the church joined up with the Families Exploring Down Syndrome (FEDS) group for a great day of lawn bowling, friendship, and sunshine!  For the second year in a row, the team from DFE Fire took top prize and gave the prize money to the FEDS group.  FEDS will use the $1200 to support Club 21, a community gathering place for young adults with Down syndrome.  First Pres is grateful to our anonymous giver for supporting this event with a 3:1 match for every dollar, through our unCommon Mission program.  


Thanks also to all the judges, grillers, and organizers who made the day a resounding success!  Chilly temperatures quickly made way for sunshine, which resulted in a few unexpected sunburns!
