This fundraiser was to raise awareness of a rare disease that most people do not know about and could possibly have. This is very personal to Tom as this is what his Father passed away from. It hit the family hard because no one knew what he had until it was too late.
The disease is called Alpha- 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. Alpha-1 is a genetic (inherited) condition – it is passed from parents to their children through their genes. Alpha-1 may result in serious lung disease in adults and/or liver disease at any age.
Numerous prizes were donated, and the event host, Break Time Billiards, also donated money for certain special purchases off of the menu.
Winners were:
1st Place: John Atha – won a seat to the $200,000 Championship in Las Vegas!
2nd Place: Marissa Dias
3rd Place: Kevin Moyer
