Each year, the Sunday Pool League hosts a charity pool tournament and fundraiser to benefit a local cause or organization. This year, the league is pleased to announce that proceeds will be donated to Diakon Adoption & Foster Care, Lehigh Valley.

The annual fundraiser will be held Aug. 11 at the American Club of Coplay pavilion, 300 Cherry St. Registration starts 11 a.m., and the tournament begins 1 p.m.

There will be a food truck, beverages and mugs available throughout the day, as well as 50/50 tickets and raffles with items donated from many local and regional businesses.

Diakon Adoption & Foster Care has one goal - to bring permanence to the lives of waiting children and youths. Through foster care, foster-to-adopt (legal-risk placements), special needs and domestic adoption, Diakon focuses on uniting children and youths with forever families.

More information can be found at diakon.org/adoption.

The event is open to the public, and children are welcome. Playing in the tournament is not required to attend. Show your support by participating in the raffle.
