Joseph Bassetti IV is one of a kind. His love for pool and giving back to the community is only superseded by his love for his daughter. In late 2021, Joe decided to start a FB group that turned into a lifestyle, Pool Players Care. Since the inception of Pool Players Care, Joe has raised more than $30,000 for Charities, Groups and Pool players and families in need.
Joe has sent Charity money from tournaments to different organizations, individuals, families affected by medical hardships, local pool players with Cancer issues & even helped bring Christmas to some families who couldn't provide it at that time.
Joe has been out of work since October and will be until June. His hours and mandatory overtime not only left a mark on him physically, but also took away from precious time with his daughter. He is currently awaiting his medical decision on his pension without any money coming in for an 8 month period of time and is unable to work until he gets a decision.
This is where I am calling on all of the pool players from our surrounding areas. His funds are low and he is having issues with bills and necessities. He even went so far as to do a lottery drawing for his cue in order to bring some extra money in to his household (which was graciously donated back to him). When something is wrong with a fellow Pool Player, Joe is the first to say "What can I do to Help." Now he needs our help. If he has touched your life in anyway, or if you just want to help out someone who has selflessly helped so many please consider donating. He would do it for you.
