The Big Bowl 2026

Let’s get rollin’ for a reason! The Big Bowl fundraiser is back and bigger than ever!

Friday 23 October 2026 | 1.30pm – 5.30pm | Everglades Country Club

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of lawn bowls, fundraising, delicious eats & drinks, and amazing prizes – all in support of Mary Mac’s Place, our beloved community kitchen and drop-in centre in Woy Woy. Last year’s event raised an incredible $18,000 to help people doing it tough. This year, we’re aiming higher – with a goal to raise $20,000 to keep vital services going strong.

Mary Mac’s Place supports anyone in need – men, women, families, young people, older Australians, and people facing homelessness or hardship. They receive no formal funding and rely entirely on the generous spirit of the local community (which you continuously deliver on, so thank you). Every dollar raised helps them provide:

• Hot, nutritious meals served Monday to Friday
• Showers, laundry facilities, and a safe place to rest
• Friendship, support and referrals to life-changing community services
• Take-home meals and food hampers for those without regular access to food.

How can you support this Fundraiser?

Every ticket, every bid, every bowl makes a difference. With the incredible support of our local small businesses and the big-hearted Central Coast community, you’re keeping their doors open, their showers running, and hot meals served to people who would otherwise go without.
