would like input

I would try to get in contact with a local Susan G Komen contact and see if they are interested in assisting. I think with the publicity that organization has, it might be something where you could have a highly successful event by building off of their corporate contacts.

I have no affiliation with this organization. So just passing along an idea.

Here is a link to their website.

This is a great idea, also see if people in the billiard industry would donate some products, it does not cost them too much depending on the items and would really generate money via raffle. I am in to donate some items. :smile:
 
What if you made it into a true fund raiser instead of a tournament?

The people who participate in the tournament have to sign people up to pledge a certain amount for each ball that they pocket in a set period of time, say an hour. Then you put each player on a table with their "racker" and they break and make as many balls, as quickly as they can. One who pockets the most in that time wins one section of the event, the person that raises the most money wins another section, and everyone raises money for cancer awareness. If you can get a local business to donate prizes for the top finishers, and the pool room owner to donate the table time, then it's all about raising money.

Thoughts?

Brian i like your idea very much,but u know like i know poolplayers that are traveling to play in tournaments,most of them are losing money,with all the expences,that the road cost,i dont think(and i agree)that many pool players are going to donate their time for any kind of cause because most of them just cant afford it,so i dont think prizes is a good idea,there has to be money involved for the pool players!
