Three CSI Pro-Am Events on the Schedule
In 2017, we introduced the CSI Charity Pro-Am and partnered with Donate Life America, a nonprofit alliance of national organizations and state teams across the U.S. committed to increasing the number of donated organs, eyes, and tissue available for transplant to save and heal lives. Several top professional players participated in a pro-am (professional-amateur) scotch doubles 8-ball tournament where each pro was paired with a league member. The event was won by former World 9-Ball Champion, Thorsten Hohmann and junior USA Pool League (USAPL) member, Michelle Jiang of Massachusetts.
The event was a huge success and therefore, we are conducting three of these events in 2018: Wednesday, July 25; Thursday, July 26; and Friday, July 27. A free raffle drawing will be conducted at approximately 8 p.m. each night prior to the next Pro-Am in the live-stream arena and several lucky winners will be randomly drawn. Each winner may choose one of the participating professional players not already taken as his or her partner in the scotch doubles charity tournament.
Raffle tickets can be received at the Donate Life America booth July 18-26 and can be earned in any or all of the following ways:
Receive one (1) free ticket for each division you enter
Receive one (1) free ticket for making a voluntary contribution to DLA
Receive three (3) free tickets for registering to become an organ donor

CSI Charity Pro-Am and partnered with Donate Life America may be new to our ears, but they are making their best to do their mission and vision they have set for themselves. Donating organs has its pros and cons. Of course we were taught that we need to prioritize ourselves before anyone else. But if there are people who are in need of our help, let us be kind enough to extend the kind of help we can give! Being a good person doesn't harm.

Why wasn't there a wheelchair Division this year?
I was so looking forward to playing again. I also know their was only 10 players last year, but I personally had gotten five more players that would have signed up to play. Please think about bringing it back and I'll recruit as many players in Wheelchairs as you feel needed to make it work for next year..
Hi, Theodore. Thank you for taking the time to write this message. We appreciate the feedback and will definitely keep this in mind as we plan future events. As a side note, wheelchair users are welcomed and encouraged to participate in any of the other divisions.

I was fortunate enough to play with Thorsten Hohman in one of these this summer. I was told that it was being filmed. I was wondering if I could get a copy of it...and/or there were several promotional pictures taken. I would like some copies of those. It was a really cool experience and I'd like to have something to remember it by.
