Fundraising

This past holiday season, Playa Bowls and our amazing community raised over $23,000 to support children impacted by hurricanes in North Carolina and Florida. With your help, and a match from Playa Bowls, we were able to bring joy to families in both states through toys, bikes, and holiday surprises. While Carolina Relief handled the North Carolina donation event, Playa Bowls proudly fulfilled the Florida portion directly with their support. Thank you to everyone who contributed; your generosity made a real difference!
