The Big Bowl 2026 – Huge success!
ANNUAL BIG BOWL CHARITY EVENT RAISES $25,000 FOR MARY MAC’S PLACE.
Funds raised by the Wiseberry Foundation.
On Friday 23rd October, local businesses across the Peninsula came together at Everglades Country Club for a major fundraising event organised by Wiseberry Peninsula Real Estate in Umina Beach.
Returning for a third year, the Big Bowl for Mary Mac’s Place invited small businesses to register teams for a barefoot bowls tournament and/or contribute to a charity auction, raffle, and lucky dip envelopes to raise much needed funds for their local community kitchen in Woy Woy.
Due to the generosity of the local community, the fun-filled afternoon resulted in an incredible $25,000 being raised which will help Mary Mac’s Place provide nutritious meals, food hampers, shower and laundry services, social and friendship opportunities for the socially and economically disadvantaged.
“I would like to say a huge thank you to Wiseberry Real Estate for once again going above and beyond by putting on this amazing event to raise much needed funds for Mary Mac’s Place. Their support is absolutely vital to our program and for those who receive support in the community. Thank you also to the event sponsors and all the businesses who contributed – this day couldn’t have gone ahead without you. I look forward to seeing you all again next year!” says support worker, Sally Baker.
Mary Mac’s Place supports over 20,000 people each year and people are struggling more today than ever before. The request for take-home food hampers has increased by over 50% over the last few years. Sadly, the need for services like Mary Mac’s Place is skyrocketing.
The money raised from this event will go a long way to helping people in our local community who are homeless, transient and those in need of a helping hand. With no formal funding they rely solely on the generosity of volunteers, individuals, and organisations to continue operating.
