“Pets are a major part of The Bahamian family. “This first annual International Potcake Golf Tournament will assist BAARK with executing their spay/neutering programme,” he said. Garden Hills Member of Parliament Bowleg, who indicated that he intends to bring along former MP Leslie “Potcake” Miller to participate, said it’s important to bring awareness to the rights of animals as this initiative also proves that sports plays a vital role in various aspects in this country. In partnering with Louisa Holowesko, Mark Carey and Rachel Hale, Carey said funds raised will be used towards operational costs, including veterinary staff, supplies and ongoing outreach efforts.

Tournament chairman Mario Carey said their goal is an ambitious one for a tournament that has never been held before, but when they heard about the needs of BAARK, they jumped at the opportunity to assist with their tireless work of protecting and controlling the dog and cat population in the country. Scheduled for December 12 at the Ocean Golf Club, the two newly appointed Progressive Liberal Party ministers joined Aliv’s chief executive officer John Gomez to help raise $100,000 for Bahamas Alliance for Animal Rights and Kindness (BAARK).Īliv is the title sponsor and according to Gomez, they are ready to ensure that the event is a success. Senior Sports may be able to be competitive on the course, but both Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture Mario Bowleg and Minister of Agriculture and Marine Resources Clay Sweeting are lending their full support to the inaugural Potcake Golf Tournament.
