Castro Valley Bocce Group

The winning team: The Bocce Brothers.

Our Athletes of the Week are The Castro Valley Bocce Group, which hosted its annual Ken Martin Memorial Bocce Tournament at Adobe Park in Castro Valley on Saturday, June. The event was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). 

The record-setting $5,717 raised during the event will benefit the George Mark Children’s House (https://georgemark.org/), which focuses on quality of life and continuity of care for children with illnesses that modern healthcare cannot yet cure, or for those who have complex, chronic medical conditions.

Unfortunately, Ken Martin’s wife Patty passed away earlier this year, but Ken Martin’s
children represented Ken and Patty and were crucial to the success of the event. Nine teams participated in the full day event.
