This is a plea for help
When Cancer stops taking our friends, we will stop having this tournament. If you or your family and friends have never been affected by this illness then you have a pass. Other than that you have no excuse for not coming and supporting this event.
Hows that for pressure. :shock:
Personally my mother in law passed four months ago after a long battle with cancer. Our friend Chef Stephano passed earlier this year. And just last week an old friend of mine past from prostate cancer.
My wife's brother died at 38 from cancer 12 years ago and of course the tournament name sake Steve Moyer passed just over five years ago.
We donated close to twelve thousand dollars last year to the ACS and to ChefStephano. At this point we can't even cover the cost of the shirts we have ordered.
We have all the sponsors lined up and we have great prizes to give away. With the awesome swag bag from Hobie filled with great prizes, and the huge lunch, and event T-shirt. You get your monies worth plus you get to show your support for our charity. I can tell you honestly that if the people don't show up to support the event, neither will the sponsors.
In all seriousness I know people have other commitments and things going on but we would love to have you all here and I really want to see your names on the list of participants.
Planning an event like this takes a lot of time, which I am happy to donate. We really need your help to make this event work. We have food sponsors, but they are only going to give us enough for those that have registered. We need you to sign up ASAP so we can plan accordingly to make this the great event it has been over the years.
Please help us out by joing us for a fun day and please get on board soon.
Thanks
Jim Sammons and Family
