On Thursday, September 15th, our Tjene team had the opportunity to participate in Holland Bloorview's first Lawn Bowling fundraising event. We thank the Holland Bloorview team for hosting an amazing and fun event at the Leaside Lawn Bowling Club. With a total of 6 teams and a handful of spectators from Tjene, our team had enjoyed the great live DJ, pizza, drinks, and a friendly competition of lawn bowling to support Holland Bloorview.
Can you guess which team outfits represent each team name?
Incredibowls, Bowldilocks and the Three Bears, Great Bowls of Fire, LatinXtrikes, Stop-Drop-and Bowl, and the Ten-Pin Bandits!

"I'm happy I had the opportunity to take part in this year's Bloorview Bowler Event. It was an amazing time with my fellow Tjeners and I, filled with music, drinks and laughs with a little competition. We also had the opportunity to learn and take part in such a good cause and interact with others outside the company who felt the same towards the charity. It made it more fun knowing they were able to raise money and hit their goal. Can’t waitf or the next one!"
-Thanu S.
"It was the first time I participated in an event of this kind and I had the most fun giving back to the community and learning something new. I'm thankful to my team, the volunteers, and, of course, to Tjene for giving us the opportunity to come together."
