Clearwater Carpet Bowlers has made its yearly donation to three local charities in the amount of $750, which will be divided three ways among the Clearwater and District Food Bank, Evergreen Acres building fund and the Dr. Helcken Memorial Hospital auxiliary.

Members of the carpet bowlers, who have been around since 1985, pay a dollar each twice a week to participate and at the end of each year, they vote on which three local charities to donate the money to.
