July 18, 2020 Unevent Highlights

A Nimble Approach!

At the 11th hour we switched our small (4 swimmers!) 1.6km swim to Cates Bay on the leeward side of the island as there were wind warnings in affect on Bowen's west side. Good thing we didn't have 75 swimmers and 40 volunteers to juggle...the event would likely have been cancelled if Covid hadn't beat us to it. Funny how things work out! Anyway, our swim was delicious, we finished in 40 minutes and then huddled on the disappearing beach to share refreshments and swimming stories. A big high five to our support crew who guided us and kept us safe from unsuspecting power boaters: Billi Behm, JO Quarry, Martin Clarke and Bruce McTaggart.

Thank you so much to our donors, we have raised at total of $6800 for our 2020 UnEvent. Amazing!

We are ever so grateful to our Un-Event sponsors (Living Bowen: Barry Thomas Personal Real Estate Corporation, First Credit Union, Irly Building Centre, Ratcliff & Company LLP, Ruddy Potato, and Rainforest Digital) who stayed on board with us despite our event cancellation. Now that's sponsorship going above and beyond.
