ABCD Bocce Event

Aug 21, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

Playing bocce in the pouring rain takes more than balls, especially when you're knee deep in puddles, but when it's in memory of a great friend, a little wet weather just doesn't matter. Such was the case this past Saturday as the 4th Annual Bocce Celebration for David (ABCD) took place in North Vancouver. David McAdam, who died tragically of brain cancer some years ago, was the inspiration behind this fun fundraiser that not only brings together people in memory but also helps raise funds for brain cancer research. Music, prizes and food kept everyone smiling. Congrats to all you wet and wonderful people.
