Support the BEF and help spend Dr. Dave's, Bob's, and Jay's money

Fran,

Again, the goal is to max out our matching contributions to raise as much money as possible for the BEF ($3000+). This has not been an issue in any of the past years we've done this (i.e, AZB members have always come through and matched the full amount, and more).

However, if the match isn't maxed out this year, which would be unfortunate, I would still be more than happy to contribute the same $500 I've always contributed.

Do you plan to help out also?

Regards,
Dave

Hopefully, the remainder of this thread can remain positive and involve more people willing to be part of the best "cause" in the pool world. The juniors deserve our support.

Why are you three making yourselves dependent on others? Why not go ahead and donate $1500 each and set an example for others?

We've actually already received Dr. Dave and Jay's checks long before this post. Matching funds is a fun way to create awareness and get more people involved. We can't thank Dr. Dave, Jay & Bob enough for their efforts this year and every year. Their donations have always truly been unconditional and the foundation and its programs are sincerely grateful for it.

We also cannot thank all the AzB Supporters enough for their continued efforts as well! Maybe the 9-Foot Diamond ProAm will come to one of you! All tickets stubs for the drawing will be mailed at the conclusion of this FUNdrive. Drawing will be held Friday, July 15th LIVE during our Junior Nationals banquet.

We're anticipating our largest junior nationals ever this year totaling nearly 200 kids in all 4 divisions and your support could not come at a more needed time. We thank each of you for helping us build the next generation of this great sport!
 
Done ^_^

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 outside of Chicago July 13-16, 2016. This event can't happen every year without financial support.

To help provide encouragement to people to contribute, Bob Jewett, Jay Helfert and I will match all AZB contributions up to a total of $1500 ($500 each) between now and the end of June, 2016.

The BEF is a great organization and a good "cause." They supports numerous Junior State Championships and the Junior National Championships, and they sponsor 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, Bob and Jay, 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, Bob, and Jay

Thanks Samm. That's awesome. So now a donation:

1.) Goes toward a great cause, which one can feel good about.

2.) Provides a tax deduction.

3.) Gives one a chance to win a top-of-the-line pool table.

I hope a lot more people will participate and max out the matching funds from me, Bob, and Jay.

Keep up the great work,
Dave

btw I tried the Paypal links on the BEF site but it was a 'no go'...*(logged in 3xs but transaction would not process thru- called BEF left message re transaction failure... now waiting on instruction to complete transaction)

Hopefully, you and Samm can troubleshoot this. Please let me know what you guys figure out so I can inform others who might have similar difficulty.

Thanks,

We only need $320 more to max out the matching funds. Please help push us to the limit.

Thanks,
Dave
