Tournament proceeds will benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which honors the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. They also honor our military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country. More information about Stephen Siller and his legacy may be found at T2T.org.
