The fee of $150/per person is comprised of donations raised from friends and associates. Contributions are tax-deductible. Online fundraising is easy!! Ask us how. The bonspiel is a fun-filled day of friendly competition for novice and experienced curlers alike. A complimentary lunch is provided. Non-curlers are encouraged to participate and have the opportunity to participate in a “How to Curl Without Killing Yourself or Others” workshop on the morning of the bonspiel". ______________________________
