2008 Masters pool

http://www.thehoopspool.com/masters/

The deadline is coming up fast. Entries must be postmarked by this Wednesday, April 9th.

It is time for The Masters (April 10th - 13th) and as such time for us to do another Masters Tournament Pool. Last year was a record turn out for our Masters Tournament Pool (104 paid entries) and we are hoping for an even bigger number of participants for 2008. Entries into the Masters Tournament Pool can be made from Tuesday, April 1st through Wednesday, April 9th. So please get your entry in ASAP and start recruiting people to join the pool because the more people in it the bigger the prize payout. Please see the Rules of the Pool for complete details.
As we have done for many years now $2 from every entry fee will be used for a charitable donation. This year the donation will be split between two different charities, The Texas Children’s Hospital and The Maisey and Jake Lowe Children’s Fund. In May my son Gehrig was diagnosed with a heart defect known as coarctation of the aorta which required surgery to repair his damaged heart. Gehrig was 4 years old at the time of his successful surgery at Texas Children’s hospital. Maisey (9) and Jake (6) Lowe are my niece and nephew and they live in Fairbanks, Alaska. This past January their father, my brother-in-law, Jimmy Lowe died in his sleep as a result of heart condition. Jimmy was 37. As you can see both of these charities are very important to me and any extra donations to these charities will be greatly appreciated.
