When APA member John Brelsford lost his home in a fire, Middle Tennessee APA League Operator Ken Stapp sprang into action. Ken used his Captain/Co-Captain Tournament to raise money for the Brelsford family. The tournament, open to all Middle Tennessee APA captains and co-captains, was held on March 19 at JOB Billiards in Madison, Ten. Fifty-two players competed for a share of $350 cash in the modified single elimination tournament that saw Eddie Hunter take 1st Place. A total of $650 was raised and donated to the Brelsfords.

Numan’s Billiards in Johnson City, Tenn., played host to Mike Massey on March 11. He helped Tri-Cities APA collect money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Massey entertained the crowd of nearly 200 APA and non-APA members with his dazzling display of trick shot artistry. The exhibition was free-of-charge with donations accepted to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The event raised $194 for the charity.
League Operator Justin Bledsoe plans to hold the event again next year and hopes to raise even more money for the hospital. “Tri-Cities APA was very happy we could raise this money and we look forward to more benefit events in the future,” Bledsoe stated.
