Some bowlers and keen spectators donned the colours of their favourite sports teams, with Buddy leading the way with his Manly Sea Eagles polo shirt.
The event raised about $3600, with reports from the day suggesting Buddy was humbled by the turnout and grateful for donation.

Everyone in attendance was thrilled to learn of Buddy's progress after his hands and feet were amputated last year after he contracted two bacterial infections.

He has since received prosthetic legs and is learning to walk again.
