Royal LePage Burloak Real Estate Services held its seventh annual Charity Halloween Chili Bowl on Oct. 27 at Burlington Bowl to raise money for two local charities.

Over the past 13 years, the brokerage has raised more than $270,000 in support of Halton Women’s Place, the only women’s shelter in Halton Region, and the Carpenter Hospice. This year’s Chili Bowl raised $4,246.

“Our teams really outdid themselves this year,” says JoAnn Landry, president and broker/owner. “Our committee, led by Brenda Macdonald, garnered tons of support from sponsors and participants. We had the largest group of bowlers yet.”

More than 130 people attended the event and many participants dressed up in Halloween costumes with prizes awarded for best team theme, best individual costume, best bowling technique and worst bowling technique.
