MISSION: Pool for a Cause is dedicated to spreading awareness of Veteran Suicide. Pool for a Cause will promote service and respect while making positive impact through the charitable efforts based around billiard events, and other fundraising for Veteran specific causes.
All proceeds from dedicated fundraising events will be donated to the specific cause, minus any expenses that may occur for the event. (Printing flyers, ink, etc.) Non-dedicated fundraising will be done with the proceeds used to support the mission, and a selected charity, group, or another Non-Profit Organization will be award a donation. Any products created and sold will be used to offset most operational expenses and will be deposited for future use to a cause that is selected. Any combined fundraising with another organization will be based on if the fundraising is being used that supports the Mission of Pool for a Cause, and the money raised will be donated to that specific cause. All donations that are made will be made known publically on the Pool for a Cause Facebook, The owners private Facebook page, and this website.
