ABCD Bocce


catherine barr

THEY had so much fun last year, they decided to do it again. The 2nd Annual Bocce Celebration for David (ABCD) was held on Sat. Aug. 24 at the Bocce pits in North Vancouver. It's an event dedicated to David McAdam, a fun loving friend to many whose life was cut short by brain cancer. David was also an avid Bocce player, so it seems only fitting that a fund-raising tournament be held in his honour. It was a celebration of life that came complete with music, food and fun in the sun. All proceeds raised go to brain cancer research. Congratulations everyone.
