The 2nd Annual Breaking Chains Open had the opportunity to host 10 children, juniors from the ages of 11 to 17 to play their very first tournament. The children all were from a group home. Denise Gentry, Breaking Chains Ministry and Funkytown Flyers sponsored the children.
At the last minute I was asking for people to donate old disc and trying to gather up Disc Golf Magazines to put together something extra for the kids. In all my preparation I had forgotten the children had very little equipment until the last minute.
Our tournament was on a Sunday, and on Friday night before the Awesomeness of the Disc Golf Community took flight.
Funkytown Flyers of Ft. Worth stepped up to the plate and donated 10 brand new bags, with a driver, putter, mini, mid range and included a bag tag for the kids to compete for during the tournament. Rebecca and Eloy Rodriguez led the effort, we are so grateful.
Dewayne Furr of Straight Line Disc gave each child a $30 voucher to spend on whatever they wished.
Brian Beatty and Evan Jones also brought what made up a whole box full of used, new and slightly used disc for the kids to have.
Pro player Akeem Williams took pictures with the children and gave them an encouragement. At the end of the day, he gave his Hot-Shot round trophy to the top player in the junior division. Simply priceless!
