Pool tournament this Saturday a fundraiser for Sycamore Farm KY

Sycamore Farm founder and Executive Director Cindy Crawford says the nonprofit ministry is dedicated to helping women come out of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.

“There’s a lot of overlap, so we just try to help them find their next best step, and we offer an emergency home where they can come and get safe and stable, and we also now are able to offer long-term residential programming as well,” Crawford said.

Looney’s Billiard Lounge in Elizabethtown is hosting a benefit for the organization this Saturday with an 8-ball Jack and Jill scotch doubles tournament.

“It’s $20 a person,” Crawford said. “Jack and Jill means it’s a woman and a man. It just makes it really fun for everybody to come out and just enjoy each other, have fun playing pool. There’ll be food there. We’re going to have our jewelry there. We hand-make jewelry and we sell it. 100 percent of the profits go back to Sycamore Farm.”

The event begins at 10 a.m. Saturday. All are welcome to attend.

“Just show up” Crawford said. “If you need a partner, there should be plenty of people around to just come in and join us, but it’s all for fun. We’ll have some good pool players. We’ll have some not so good pool players. I haven’t played in forever, but I’m just excited to be able to do it and just hang out.”
