Pride Tournament 2025
On Sunday, May 4th, 2025, the greens at Footscray Park Bowling Club were alive with colour, music, and laughter as we proudly hosted our second annual Pride Cup Tournament. What a day it was! From vibrant entertainment to friendly competition, it was everything we hoped for and more.
Entertainment & Atmosphere 🎶✨
We’re still beaming with glee just thinking back on the day. DJ Mark kept the energy flowing with a killer soundtrack, and our hilarious entertainers brought plenty of sparkle and sass. In between all the music and laughter, we of course managed to sneak in some lawn bowls, adding that signature Footscray Park touch.

Our Staff & Volunteers ❤️
A huge thank you to our amazing staff and volunteers, who worked tirelessly in the lead-up, throughout the day, and even during the pack down. In a beautiful show of generosity, every staff member donated their first hour of pay to the charity total. We truly couldn’t do it without you.
And the Winners Are… 🏆
While every team brought their A-game, only one could be crowned this year’s champion. Congratulations to our 2025 Pride Cup Champions: Ben Corbett and Friends!
Supporting Pride Foundation Australia 🌏
At the heart of the Pride Cup is giving back to the community. Thanks to your generosity, raffles, and spirit of giving, we raised an astounding $2,133.11 — which we proudly rounded up to $2,150.00 — for Pride Foundation Australia. This contribution will go directly toward supporting LGBTQIA+ initiatives across the country.
Until Next Year 🌟
We are so proud of what we created together—a day of pride, joy, and community. Thank you to everyone who played, dressed up, danced, donated, and supported. You made Pride Cup 2025 a memory we’ll never forget.
We can’t wait to do it all again next year, bigger and better!
