Sponsor A Lunch

Our brothers in Toledo have been using this program for years to provide the finest eats and drink at the National 3-Wall tournament

Here is how it works:
You send a check for $25.00 to the Greater Cincinnati Handball Association designated with “lunch”. We use the money to buy food for you and your fellow competitors as well as fund a GREAT Saturday evening banquet. You get recognized at the tournament as a sponsor of the lunch program as well as a special designation in the sponsors program.

You also eat a lot better if EVERYONE sends a check.

Send donations to:

Thank you for your anticipated help.

Greater Cincinnati Handball Association Sponsors A Creative Approach To National Handball Tournament

As many handball players and supporters already know, The National Masters Handball Tournament will be held in Cincinnati on April 7 - 11, 2005. Of course, with a tournament of this size, fundraising is a key ingredient in making it successful.

The Greater Cincinnati Handball Association has approached Joe Nuxhall, a living legend in Cincinnati and Major League Baseball, and his Character Excellence Foundation to partner with us to raise monies for both the Foundation and the National Masters Championship.

On June 6, 1944 Joe was the youngest player ever to appear in a Major League game at fifteen years old when he pitched for the Cincinnati Redlegs. Throughout his career he played handball in Cincinnati as part of his off-season conditioning. Joe has spent 60 years in baseball, the last 30 years as a radio broadcaster with Marty Brenneman, a Hall of Famer. This broadcasting team is recognized as one of the best-known tandems in the industry.

We anticipate that this partnership will produce a tremendous Handball Tournament and benefit many young people in the Greater Cincinnati area. We look forward to having everyone here in Cincinnati in the spring.

Sincerely,
Jack Prather

National Masters Headed to Cincinnati

The following email was received from Jack Prather on 07/15/04.

I am pleased to announce that the most prestigious 4-wall handball tournament in the United States aside from the Nationals will be held in the Mid-American Region and more specifically in Cincinnati. That tournament is the 2005 National Masters Handball Singles Championship. It will be held at the Athletic Club @ Waycross during the month of April. The date will be finalized by next week.

The tournament will be run by the GCHA and myself. What a great opportunity for this area to see and also play against some of the best handball players in the world, while also showcasing some of our great players as well. We are just beginning to form committees to make sure this is one of the best tournaments to attend and also play. If anyone has any suggestions, comments, would like to be part of a committee or even be a sponsor, please contact myself or David Kent at dkent14991@aol.com or the GCHA at gcha@gcha.org.

We all welcome your thoughts.
