The Lancaster County 8 Ball League held its annual Harry Hutchinson - Jack Byerly Charity 8 Ball Tournament earlier this year to raise money for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Lancaster County.
The more than $18,000 raised by the Lancaster County 8 Ball League was supplemented by $15,000 from Riverside Camping Association, which hosted the event. Checks were presented on May 13 at Riverside Camping Association, 730 E. Strawberry St., Lancaster. CASA executive director Jessica Laspino and staff members were present to accept the checks.
The Charity 8 Ball Tournament was established in memory of Harry Hutchinson and Jack Byerly, two founding members of the Lancaster County 8 Ball League.
In 2010, the Lancaster County 8-Ball League approached CASA and offered to aid children in Lancaster County by naming CASA as the tournament charity partner. Since that first tournament, more than $1 million has been donated to CASA as tournament proceeds and matching funds.
CASA of Lancaster County provides qualified and compassionate court-appointed volunteer advocacy for children who have experienced abuse and neglect. CASA's services are provided in the belief that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and permanent home. CASA volunteers believe that growing up in a safe home is a fundamental human right.
