Background

When Ret was losing his battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma in early 2000, he asked what could be done to help other families in similar situations. This tournament was suggested by the coaches at Hilton Head Prep as a great way to financially support such families and a wonderful way to keep Ret’s memory alive.
