Dustin Burke has been a long-time supporter of pool leagues and tournaments. Many of you may know him - some may not, but he's a good man. His dad just underwent triple bypass heart surgery and is recovering very well. However, this has caused a financial crunch on him and his family (as most major medical surgeries do...) and as friends in the pool community I'm reaching out for you support.
This coming Saturday we're going to be holding a fundraiser for Gene Burke at the End Zone in Elko. We've got a whole day of festivities planned to not only raise money, but for everyone in attendance to have some fun. We're having the pool tournament at 1 p.m. start, with $15 entry and $100 added. 8-Ball, race to handicap - 3/4/5.
We're selling tickets for $10 that will get you unlimited taco bar from 4-7 p.m. and a free drink coupon. 100% of that money will go to the family. Also, we're having a silent auction with some really neat stuff during those hours. Hopefully you'll come and check out and bid on some of these items. Some items are pool related, some bar related, and some other stuff that might interest you in other areas...
We've also got our version of bar bingo (called "BUDGO) that starts at 6 p.m. and it's free for you to play. You can win free appetizers, burgers, buckets of beer, and CASH.
If you haven't made plans for this coming Saturday yet, make'em to come down and support this event. I'm sure you'll have a great time and feel good when you leave. Take Care.
