CURLING FOR A CAUSE: Music Community's 9th Annual Charity Bonspiel to Support the Kevin Walters Memorial Fund

Manitoba’s music community is trading instruments for brooms and getting ready rock the house for charity.

Manitoba Music and Manitoba Film & Music will join forces once again for the Manitoba Music Rocks Charity Bonspiel, which will take place at the Granite Curling Club on February 9, 2019. 

The ninth annual event will bring the province's vibrant music community together to raise funds and awareness for the Kevin Walters Memorial Fund—a charity that honours Walters' memory through financial support for promising performers and organizations in music, film, performance and the creative arts. Walters, who passed away in 2014, had very close ties with Manitoba Music, Manitoba Film & Music, and the larger music industry.  

Registration for the 2019 Manitoba Music Rocks Charity Bonspiel is now open at manitobamusic.com/curling and people of all skill levels are welcome to join in the fun and curl for a cause. In addition to curling, there will be activities to keep people busy off the ice, and curlers will have a delicious finish to the event’s festivities with a celebratory dinner, with prizes for bonspiel winners as well as those who come dressed in their best, most outrageous, or vintage curling outfits, best team name, and more.

Over 120 curlers rocked last year's event, raising over $6,000 for the Fund.
