The BC Jesters Club pays all tournament expenses, so all entry funds and additional donations from Jesters will be donated to the 2020 FUND. We are proud to announce that we have raised $2,955.00!

The 2020 Fund was established in 2000 by Squash BC to help protect the future of squash in British Columbia. As funding from government and other sources becomes less predictable, it is important to find alternative ways to ensure a sound financial future for the sport of squash.

The income accumulated through the 2020 Fund will be used to promote the growth of the game through the development of junior squash. By establishing a vibrant and well-financed junior program, Squash BC will take a major step toward a successful future for the sport in this province.

Thanks to sponsors – Squash BC (balls) Howe Sound Brewing (beer for Evergreen) Steamworks Brewing Company (beer at VRC). Thanks to VRC and cohost clubs for the use of their facilities.

Also thanks to the tournament organizers: Tony Goodson, Greg Desaulniers, Tim Martin and Brian Covernton. Kudos to all the Jesters who played and/or officiated during the week. All in all it was a week of great fun and comraderie.
