Lawn Summer Nights benefit to combat Cystic Fibrosis

sausage 550 The fifth annual Lawn Summer Night benefit in aid of research into Cystic Fibrosis saw a sold out crowd of competitors at the Leaside Lawn Bowing Club on Hanna Road Thursday. The event is sponsored by KPMG and was inspired by a much-loved colleague, Eva Dien Brine Markvoort, who died in 2010 at the age of 26 of the disease. The usual madcap get-ups and team names were plentiful. Above is the Team Sausage squad of (l to r) Thomas, Verity, Murilo, Geoff and Brandon. Like so many good names, Team Sausage was an act of whimsy related to past and best-forgotten cottage hijinks. Other wonderful names abounded: The Bowlevardiers, The Lawn Whisperers, Great Bowls of Fire, The Bowled and the Beautiful, The Bowlerinas and the Barack O Bowlers. Congratulations all.
