On Monday, 8 February 2021, Bennett & Philp hosted its third annual Beach Bowl fundraiser over at an amazing venue, The Piano Bar at the Emporium.
Bennett & Philp's annual Beach Bowl event is an excellent opportunity to socialise and get together with colleagues, network with clients and contacts and enjoy America's biggest live sporting event, the Super Bowl. All of this is done while raising money for our brilliant charity partners and this year we were so proud to partner with the White Cloud Foundation.

The Super Bowl was between Kansas City Chiefs vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The event was hosted at the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. For the second time in history, the Buccaneers took home the title of the Super Bowl champions with a final score of 31-9. Love or hate the man Tom Brady did not disappoint sporting fans everywhere, winning his 7th Super Bowl.

A huge thank you to our sponsors who donated great prizes for our raffle draw. Professional Chartered Accounting firm, Cooper Reeves, donated two awesome bottles of wine. Our major sponsors from Chartered Accounting firm, Carter Connell kindly donated a $250 Mr and Mr's G voucher. Our other major sponsors from the amazing team over at Motorama donated a Mustang for the weekend. And finally, we were able to auction off an exquisite custom suit donated by Mark Ferguson at Wil Valor.

Again, as fun as the day was it was brilliant to see so much support offered up for our charity partner The White Cloud Foundation. This is a truly wonderful organisation focused on providing practical support and easy access to treatment to people with or at risk of developing depression. It was really inspiring to hear Adam Scott, chairman of the organisation, speak so genuinely and so enthusiastically about their initiatives and works.
We are happy to announce that the 2021 B&P Beach Bowl raised $4,000 of much-needed funds for The White Cloud Foundation. We would like to say a huge thank you to all our guests who attended, donated, and bought raffle tickets on the day.
