 One of our main goals is raising awareness for head and neck cancer. Hopefully if we can achieve this goal we can increase early detection and treatment of this disease and improve the treatment outcomes for the patients and their families. As a part of this goal we are participating in Oral Head & Neck Cancer Awareness Week. During the tournament we will have physicians available to perform free screenings for head and neck cancer and we will be providing educational materials to the public. 2011 was our 2nd annual tournament and it was a huge success again. Thanks to our sponsors and participants we were able to donate $16,625 to the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance this year.  Please come to participate in the tournament and the free screenings. We look forward to seeing you there.

This tournament has been created in loving memory of our parents:

Beatrice Lillian Howard February 4, 1932 - April 22, 1968

Leslie C Howard  June 19, 1932 - September 2, 2004
