Proudly Supporting the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA)
Bowls SA is proud to launch A Buck-A-Bowler during Blue Round (4–9 November) in partnership with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA).
How it works
- Each bowler contributes $1 per game during Blue Round.
- Clubs can keep it fun: wear blue, decorate a donation bucket, and encourage visitors to take part.
- All funds raised go directly to PCFA, supporting research, awareness, and support services for men and their families.
Why it matters
Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in Australian men, with more than 24,000 men expected to be diagnosed this year alone. Almost every club has members and families affected by this disease. By getting behind A Buck-A-Bowler, the South Australian bowls community can show its strength in numbers and contribute to life-changing outcomes.
“When the bowls community unites, we can make a real difference for men and their families facing prostate cancer.” — Bowls SA

Testimonial - Kate Brokate's A Buck-A-Bowler
Kate explains her story “I am passionate about raising money for breast and prostate cancer research because of my personal experience with breast cancer. I had a double mastectomy and chemotherapy, realising the crucial support needed during such times. Witnessing the free support available, I feel compelled to pay it forward as many others will require similar assistance. Men also need support for prostate cancer, so in the past I split fundraising efforts between both causes”.
The emotional and physical toll of cancer is immense, and the free support provided is invaluable. By organizing ‘A Buck-A-Bowler’ initiative, where each player contributes a dollar during Pink Round 4 – 9 November, the bowling community can easily raise funds without extensive efforts. The simplicity of this approach has proven successful in gathering significant donations from various clubs on the Yorke Peninsula and other areas in the past.
