The purpose for this thread is to rally support for the Billiard Education Foundation (BEF). This is a good time of year to do this since the BEF will be hosting the Junior Nationals Tournament in Vegas August 4-7. This event can't happen every year without financial support.

To help provide encouragement to people to contribute, I am offering to match all AZB contributions up to a total of $500 between now and the end of June.

The BEF is a great organization and a good "cause." They provide various programs for juniors in the billiards community. The BEF funds academic scholarships, hosts the Junior National Championships, and sponsors juniors to attend the WPA World Junior Championships. The BEF also encourages juniors to stay in school and further their education while building and maintaining a lifelong love of billiards through the “Pool In School” program. For more information, visit the BEF website.

To contribute and trigger a match from me, make your contribution on the BEF donation page and post your amount here (or send me a PM if you prefer to remain anonymous). Samm Diep will verify the donated amounts and I will keep an updated total in this thread.

FYI, the BEF is a non-profit organization and your gift will qualify as a charitable donation, which you can claim as a tax deduction.

Please contribute whatever you can, even if it is only a few bucks.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for supporting the BEF. Young players are the future of pool and they need and deserve out support.

Best regards,
Dave
 
Who's going to be the first to contribute something (even a small amount) to this worthy cause?

Regards,
Dave
 
Thank you JC and SilverCue!

Here is what we have so far:

Dave

That's an amazing offer! Basically buy a set of balls but double your money since it's going to the BEF.

There are probably lots of local fundraiser events going on for kids going to this as well, so people should ask around if they know there are juniors playing in this from their area. We're having one in MA that gets a good turn-out and has been raising about $3,000 for the kids we send to Nationals, while not a big total considering we send 10+ kids there, the $300 per family does help, and I should know since I'm one of the parents going with a 15 yr old boy that has taken a liking to the fancy Vegas buffets LOL, that $300 will feed him for a few days luckily.
