Alice Dixson has raised funds for the third year to benefit the children of the Kalipay Negrense Foundation through her charity. The fund-raising event took place at the SM Megamall Bowling Center at 10 am last December 8. Celebrity friends and supporters came in full support and bowled, including James Younghusband, James Deakin, Ali Sotto, Iza Calzado and husband Ben Wintle, Tim Yap, Ynez Veneracion, Karylle and husband Yael Yuzon, Julia Barretto, Jackie Aquino, Gladys Reyes, Radha, Donita Rose, Ara San Agustin, Teresa Loyzaga and many others.
The players were dressed in their most comfy outfits of shorts, skort, jeans, leggings plus the tournament official shirt, and did practice bowl before the qualifying round started at 11 am. With 14 teams all, the seven teams with highest scores advanced to finals by noon. Finally, those with the highest combined individual scores won prizes: first placers were awarded a two-night stay in Club Agutaya, Palawan; second placers got a two-night stay in Dakak/Villa Angelina in Dapitan; and third placers won luggage from Delsey.
It was fun to see the celebs receive their prizes by 1 pm. They were jumping with joy with the prizes and special prizes of various gift certificates from sponsors.
The first and second of Dixson’s charity bowl was a huge success, with many publications covering it and many media personalities attending it, raising over P200,ooo and P700,000, respectively, to provide shelter, food, health care and counseling for the many homeless, physically and sexually abused, malnourished, out-of-school and special children in Negros Occidental.
Dixson, who recently starred in the movie Nuuk with Aga Muchlach, is known for hosting many fund-raising events to serve various charities. But she said her heart is set on helping unfortunate children who, for one reason or another, have found themselves without a home, food or love. The actress is now back on TV, having joined the hit series Beautiful Justice on GMA.
With the third run of the charity bowl, which Dixson said raised half a million, she hopes to improve the lives of the many children supported by the foundation.
