Tim Dodsonย OK, I will setup March - April month long for everyone and 2 days at SUF retreat for SUF members.ย

Good question. We could organize multiple tournaments to raise funds. Our only limitation is our creativity. Would you like to consider a week-long or month-long tournament before the retreat to generate additional donations/funds? I was thinking we could keep the two-day tournament exclusively for SUF members attending the retreat. If I I get a bunch of likes on this comment, Iโ€™ll create a month-long tournament that concludes the day before the SUF Retreat April 16th. We could then share this tournament and get lots of participants to raise a little more money. Thoughts?
