On Sunday, March 22, 2026, we hosted the third-annual Share a Spare bowling fundraiser at Dakota Bowling Lanes.
This year’s event brought together 24 teams and 120 enthusiastic participants for a fun-filled day of bowling, games, and great food featuring catering by Peckish Winnipeg and delicious cookies from Butter Bakery. Thanks to this incredible turnout and the generosity of our community, we raised over $33,000!
With of your support, kidney patients across Manitoba will continue to receive vital assistance, including financial support to help offset the high cost of dialysis. With average out-of-pocket expenses reaching approximately $2,000 per month, your contributions are making a meaningful and immediate difference.
This event would not have been possible without the commitment of our sponsors. We extend our sincere thanks to Big League sponsor, Otsuka Canada, Strike Out Kidney Disease sponsor, Manitoba Turkey, whose generous contributions had a significant impact. Perfect Game Sponsors, Fillmore Riley LLP for not only providing financial support but also bringing a team to join in the fun.
A special thank you also to our Lane Sponsors: Superior Chem-Dry, Manitoba Egg Farmers, Manitoba Hydro, Belvidere Construction, Prospect Management, Salisbury House, and Con-Restor Technologies for their valued support.
Special mentions go out to our top fundraising team, The Water Buffaloes and top fundraiser, Donovan DeBattista; our talented photographer, Oleksandr Bezzemelnyi; and dedicated volunteers, Pramela (or as we lovingly refer to her as Mom), Ankit, Chantal, Kelly, and Barbara who all helped keep the day running smoothly.
Finally, thank you to all the organizations who donated prizes and items for the swag bags. Your generosity added to the excitement and success of the event.
We’re already looking forward to our fourth annual Share a Spare on March 21, 2027. We hope to see you there!
