Help get Nathan Childress to China!

Fresh off of winning the 2015 Billiard Education Foundation 14 & Under Junior National 9 Ball Championships, Nathan Childress has qualified for the 2015 World Championships in Shanghai, China (November 14th-17th 2015). For Nathan, pool is more than just a hobby, aside from his education, pool is his entire life. Getting to represent The United States during this prestigious event would be an absolute dream come true! 

Nathan began playing pool at the age of 8, at Diamond Billiards in Midlothian Virginia, which is also Nathan's home town. Nathan's natural talent and passion for the game was evident to me (his coach) and to all those who get to see him play. Not only is Nathan a talented pool player, Nathan is an all around great kid -just ask anyone who knows him! Along with winning the 14 & Under BEF Junior National Championships Nathan also received the 2015 Lindenwood University Sportsmanship Award for the 14 & Under Boy's Division. 

Nathan’s talent and sportsmanship would absolutely be reflected if he were able to compete in this incredible event. We’re requesting funds to cover flight, hotel and travel expenses for Nathan and his mother. Any and all help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
