About
SPORTS for Exceptional Athletes is holding the 7th annual Law Enforcement vs. Kiwanis Challenge “Guacamole Bowl” fundraiser on Saturday, February 27th from 10:00am until 2:30pm at the Balboa Park Club. The “Guacamole Bowl” is a premier competition designed to determine, “Who makes the best Guacamole?”
Proceeds from the 7th Annual Guacamole Bowl will benefit SPORTS for Exceptional Athletes
Retired San Diego Police Officer Matt Weathersby came up with this unique fundraising idea as a way of supporting local charities. This year’s charity is SPORTS for Exceptional Athletes. Over the past six years, the Guacamole Bowl, co-sponsored by San Diego Park & Recreation-Therapeutic Recreation Services, has raised over $35,000 to support local programs for athletes with developmental disabilities.
According to Weathersby, over 2,000 pounds of fresh avocados donated by Calavo Growers, Inc. will be used by the various teams along with lots of onions, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapenos, provided by Jordano’s, to the competing teams. Matt added, “If you like good guacamole, and lots of it, then Balboa Park is the place to be”.
