2011 Curl for a Cure Bonspiel
In it’s 9th year, Poynette’s Curl for a Cure Bonspiel passed the $20,000 mark in raising money towards cancer research at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center. In 2003, friends and family of Eileen Wild started this fundraiser not only to raise money, but to also raise awareness of the true nature of lung cancer, noting that early detection is key and that it’s not just a smokers’ disease.
This year’s event expanded over past years, bringing 20 teams and spanning into a 3rd day for the championship brackets. In the end, Team Marquardt (Kurt Marquardt, Betty Marquardt, Kelly Smith, and Shauna Smith) edged Team Falk (Brittany Falk, Cody Falk, Kelsey Saager, and John Bauer), needing an extra end and a few inches of ice.
Special thanks to Barney, Jeanette, Jim, and Julie along with all of the others who volunteered time to make this an awesome event. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
