The tomsu
2025



The Joe Tomsu Memorial Tournament brings together some of the best bowlers from the Midwest and beyond. Proceeds benefit cancer research at UNMC’s Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, Nebraska’s only National Cancer Institute designated cancer research and treatment center.
The fight against cancer becomes even more personal this year. As many of you already know, tournament host Matt Tomsu received a cancer diagnosis just before his induction into the Nebraska USBC Hall of Fame this summer. Matt is determined to win this battle, and though he likely won't bowl, he will be here to represent and support the underlying purpose of the tournament. Please help the Tomsus continue this fight and enjoy the great competition and money the tournament offers. We are grateful for the support of our fans and participants, and we look forward to continuing to provide a platform for athletes to showcase their skills and passion for the sport.
So come and join us this November 8th and 9th at our tournament home, Mockingbird Lanes, in Omaha, NE, and you could walk away with a big cash prize.
