Jackie & Rowan’s NYC Marathon Quiz Night Fundraiser
What a night! Last weekend, Jackie & Rowan Bailey brought their community together for an unforgettable Quiz Night to raise funds for their New York Marathon run – and it was nothing short of amazing!
Over 100 people packed the room for a night of trivia, laughs, and generosity, all while dressed in athlete-inspired outfits – think fluro, lycra, 80’s AFL players, tennis stars, lifeguards, and retro sportswear. The energy was electric!
Highlights?
– A powerful, moving speech from their friend Gemma, currently undergoing treatment for bowel cancer that touched every heart.
– A vibrant atmosphere where people wore what they’ve always wanted on a Saturday night out!
– Trivia fun and fierce competition that raised over $8,000 in one night to support bowel cancer awareness.
This cause is deeply personal for Jackie & Rowan. Jackie lost her mum to bowel cancer 16 years ago, just one month after they were married. Jackie’s mum was only in her 50s. Running the NYC Marathon is their way of honoring her and helping others.
A big thank you to the night’s incredible sponsors: Brad from ChefHire, Cassegrain Wines and Okanui Classics.
Jackie & Rowan have already raised over $25,000 for the Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation – and you can still support their New York Marathon fundraising campaign! Donate here.
Jackie and Rowan – thank you for all you’ve done to raise important funds and awareness. Good luck tomorrow! As you prepare for the big day, know you have the support of so many cheering you on while remembering your mum and everyone affected by bowel cancer.
