Sam Robb, a rising athlete at Blessed Trinity Catholic High School, was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in 2002 at the age of 15. After countless rounds of chemotherapy and surgeries, Sam’s cancer was in remission. However, due to the illness Sam would be unable to playthe sports he loved. Sam did not give up his dreams of being an athlete and changed his focus to other sports that could accommodate his new physical limitations. Sadly, on June 25, 2007 Sam Robb lost his battle with an unexpected relapse of the cancer.

This tournament is a tribute to Sam and his perseverance to be an athlete no matter the obstacles. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit The Sam Robb Fund within Cure Childhood Cancer, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancers.
