Radio Lollipop Gold Coast is once again one of the beneficiaries of Broadwater Rotary Club’s Bare Your Soles for Kids lawn bowls fundraiser. The rotary club is one of the original supporters of Radio Lollipop who assisted with the launch and growth of our Gold Coast team 10 years ago.

Over its 12 year history, the Bare Your Soles For Kids has raised more than $300,000 for local charities and supported over 100 individuals in need on the Gold Coast.

Rotary Club of Broadwater Southport President Dennis O’Brien said funds from the day will support Southport Special School, Radio Lollipop, Southport Surf Lifesaving Club Nippers and other local Rotary charity projects.

“Bare Your Soles For Kids has become another wonderful annual Gold Coast community event and has established a fine tradition of raising funds for programs that benefit our youth,” said O’Brien.

“Lawn bowls is a fun, healthy and social activity, and a great way to get out and enjoy our Gold Coast weather.

“We now invite the public to get in quick to secure one of 42 team entries into this year’s event.”

Registration is $35 per person with the competition in teams of four. People can enter a team or enter individually and be placed into a team.

Musgrave Hill Bowls Club will host Bare Your Soles For Kids from 10am to 2.30pm on Sunday 15 May. The program will feature a social lawn bowls team’s competition, silent and open auctions and $5 raffle draws.

“We acknowledge the tremendous support from local businesses in donating more than 20 prizes for our raffles during the day, as well as a number of major items to auction off including the Bernard Tomic signed tennis racquet,” said O’Brien.
