The Florida Panthers Alumni Association is a non-profit agency committed to the further development of the youth of South Florida through education and athletics. The pool tournament is the association's major source of funding. The finances collected through this event enable the association to donate academic and athletic grants and scholarships to the youth of South Florida who otherwise would not have the opportunity.
