Why We Do This

The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters is clear: make a positive difference in the lives of children, primarily through professionally supported relationships with caring mentors, and assist children in achieving their greatest potential as they grow to become confident, competent and contributing individuals.

This tournament is sponsored and organized by Diamond Eight Billiards in memory of its founder, Edward M. Skawinski, who passed away in August of 2000. Ed believed in the importance and strength of family, and, in turn, believed in the calling of Big Brothers Big Sisters to enhance the lives of children through family-like activities and experiences.
