Seen In Vancouver #308: Locals Lawn Bowl And Raise A Ton Of Cash For Cystic Fibrosis

Props to the Vancouver Leisure Society for raising $59,000 for Cystic Fibrosis research over the past few weeks. The lawn bowling event began as a fundraiser in honour of Eva Markvoort (watch the trailer for the documentary about Eva here). It has since grown and evolved into much more than that: an afternoon of fun, philanthropy, friends and the exhibition of some pretty awesome duds.

    Kudos to organisers Graham Dalik, Andrew Dalik and Duncan Gillespie.
