I agree 100 percent. Cris, you can put me down for a $10 donation. I'd give more, but I'm just a broke county worker/pool player. Which is why I can't attend their clinic.
:sad:

Thanks, Dennis! I think there's going to be a great turn out for the challenge matches so be sure to get there early to get a seat. See you then!
 
Thank you everyone for your kind words. I apologize for it taking so long to respond to this thread. I'm really excited about the whole thing. If you can't make it to the Pool School please try to make it to the Exhibition matches!

I'm also going to San Antonio for the Fast Eddie's event. I look forward to meeting more of the Texas AZber's.

bump...

...for these challenge matches and clinics, which are faaasst approaching. Anybody feel like gettin down for a small amount on the matches? What are the players gettin down for?

Also, since the spirit of charity is the focus on Monday night, maybe people with diabetes or hearing loss could attend one of the clinics for free?? That would be mighty charitable!

Poison Cues Presents the Pro Pool Charity Challenge in Austin, TX

Poison Cues presents the Pro Pool Charity Challenge in Austin, TX. Professional players will team up for a night of challenge matches to raise money for the American Diabetes Association. The challenge will begin at 7:00pm on Monday, February 16th at G-Cue Billiards in Austin, TX. The event will feature two WPBA pros, Sarah Rousey and Heather Pulford, as well as Shane VanBoening and James Davis, Sr., both of which are former Texas Open 9-ball Champions.

Rousey, a resident of Bloomington, IL, had a recent top 3 finish at the WPBA Tour Championships in Florida. She finished the 2008 season ranked 12th on the WPBA points list. Her opponent, Heather Pulford, also a regular on the WPBA tour, will be competing for her hometown crowd as G-Cue Billiards is her home poolhall.

VanBoening and James Davis, Sr. have played against each other several times over the past year at various tournaments around Texas, beginning with the Texas Open where VanBoening eventually captured the title. Spectators will get to see a re-match of the Houston Open finals where Davis defeated VanBoening.

Proceeds raised will benefit the American Diabetes Association, a charity that is of special importance to Sarah Rousey. At the age of 10, Sarah was diagnosed with Type I diabetes. ?Having something wrong with you at a young age really scares other kids. I got to be the butt of the joke or people thought they could catch Diabetes by being around me. All of this fueled me to play pool? Sarah said.

?When I was 20, I had a serious low blood sugar scare which landed me in the hospital. I decided it was time to get an insulin pump. When I made this decision I told myself it was time to be an advocate and not be ashamed. I started educating people rather than hiding. It's amazing how understanding people can be when you just let them in.?

A special thanks to Poison Cues for their support and contribution of cues and products which will be raffled at the event. For more information contact Cristina De La Garza at (512) 799-9675 or crisdlg2005@yahoo.com.

Sounds like a fun event. I am going to try and make it up there for this:)
 
I hope there are buckets of press, local and abroad, coverage for this. If anything, I'd really be excited to see photos of the event.

GL guys!!
 
Hope Shane & Sarah get enough sleep...both just finished playing in San Antonio.

Great players never sleep, right?
 
Hey Chris, there will be some instruction on the Break Shot, the BreakRAK Company has sent two (2) Demonstration BreakRAKs for SVB & Sarah to use in their Clinic.

What is 'real' work? Working for the man and getting a paycheck every two weeks doing something you hate? What if you worked twice as hard at something you absolutely loved but didn't get as big of a paycheck? Is it only 'real' work if you have to clock in and out somewhere and get a paycheck?

I work in Corporate America and after a weekend of tournament play, I'm more exhausted and brain dead than I am after a week of 'real' work.

I envy every single person who gets to do what they love everyday, whether they get a paycheck for it or not. More power to them!

Thanks to everyone that came out last night! It was a great turn out and we raised over $500 for the American Diabetes Association.

Sarah & Shane were real troopers. After getting home from the Fast Eddies tournament at 3:30am on Monday morning, they were at the pool hall at 6:30am doing TV interviews for Fox news, then started 8 hours of pool schools so by last night they were both very tired.

Sarah was awesome and stuck around signing autographs and talking with spectators even after her match was over even though I'm sure she was very ready to sleep.

Thank you, Heather & Bastrop, for volunteering your time to participate in this event as well as helping advertise it with the local players. There was a great turn out and I will post pics soon.

Impressive - two professional pool players that actually are not afraid to work for a living.

Is there a video clip of the Fox news interviews?
