The Predator International 10-Ball Tournament will benefit more than just the players and fans. It is now announced that a portion of the proceeds will go to The Children's House, a temporary home for disadvantaged youth.
The concept for this home began in 1995 and, after overcoming many obstacles, opened in September of 2008. The aim of the House is to provide emergency fostering for 30 children (aged up to 12 years old), who, often for traumatic reasons, were withdrawn by the Court of from their families. These circumstances are commonly a consequence of neglectful environments that include abandonment, disregard for safety, violence, sexual abuse, etc. ?In order to transform these experiences, the Children's House seeks to provide opportunities for growth and development, trusting in everyone's potential, and the continued interest of those who support the cause. The Children's House believes in joyful times, peace, emotional stability, health care and in appropriate and individualized projects for their lives, to build the opportunity of a home where the children can truly be children. The Children's House provides emergency fostering for 30 children (aged up to 12 years old), who, often for traumatic reasons, were withdrawn by the Court from their previous family situation.
Karim Belhaj, President and CEO of Predator Group, states that it his pleasure to support this worthy cause “because it involves youth with a need and that it has both an international and national aspect because the two homes involved support both local and international youth. One of the orphanages has a billiard room that Predator refitted and at the end of the day it is out responsibility to make the world a better place one pool game at a time.”
