Altis Bocce Battle
Description for Altis Bocce Battle
Join us for the 3rd Annual Altis Bocce Battle, happening on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at Wesley Clover Parks. This tournament brings together the business community for a day of friendly competition, all in support of youth mental health.
Hosted by the Altis Team in memory of their late Co-Founder, Toni Guimaraes, the Bocce Battle is more than just a game. Toni, who passed away from advanced prostate cancer in 2016, loved playing bocce (second only to hockey) and was committed to giving back to the community. He’d be proud to see us making a difference at this event.
This year, the CHEO Foundation is honoured to be named a co-beneficiary, alongside Christie Lake Kids. All proceeds from the event will be split evenly between Christie Lake Kids and CHEO and will directly support CHEO’s Youth Mental Health Unit.
