Since his passing in 2011, his brother Joss of Efore Electrical decided to organise a tournament which sees many bowlers from all over Gauteng raise funds for both the club and a charity in memory of his brother.

It was agreed in 2016 between Efore Electrical and the main sponsors, The Ribbon Collection that the association would be nominated as their charity of choice.
The following Efore Electrical suppliers also contributed towards the donation: Central Support Systems, Hellermann Tyton, ACDC Express Randburg and Flash.
