Str8-Shots Darts & Billiards in Colorado Springs will be bringing players together for an inspiring pool tournament to raise money for their favorite organizations. Marc and Kimberly Griffiths have independently raised an astounding $4,000 for an event to remember. Shoot for a Cure will take place at Felt Billiards in Englewood, CO on September 21-23.
This jam-packed weekend will provide something for everyone. An open, ladies (amateurs only), and juniors (18 and under) tournament are scheduled, along with cue raffles and other prizes and giveaways. For more details or to sign up for one of three tournaments, visit http://www.str8-shots.com/shootforacure or call 1-877-921-9511.
Players will choose from two causes to play for: National Breast Cancer Foundation or LIVESTRONG, and Junior players have the added choice of playing for the Billiard Education Foundation. After registering and selecting a cause, players will receive a link that they can send to friends and family to begin fundraising. Players are then entered into the event once a min $40 is raised ($25 for the juniors). 100% of donations go directly to the organizations and the $4,000 raised by str8-shots will be used for the prize fund.
“Shoot for a Cure is dear to our hearts because we've watched loved ones suffer as they've battled cancer. We've combined our love for pool and passion to help find a cure, in an effort to make a difference,” said the Griffiths', owners of str8-shots.com.
