JOE TOMSU MEMORIAL
THE TOMSU
2026
So come and join us this November 7th and 8th at our tournament home, Mockingbird Lanes, in Omaha, NE, and you could walk away with a big cash prize.
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 Joe Tomsu Memorial continues to thrive, symbolizing the fusion of community and competition. We are pleased to announce that host Matt Tomsu, while continuing his treatment for cancer, has received very promising news. A heartfelt thank you to all of the participants over the past 27 years—your continued support has helped grow this tournament from its humble beginning to an important regional tournament, where competition meets the spirit of honoring Joe.

Teams of four, featuring at least one bowler aged over 45, compete in a match play format for the grand prize following four qualifying games.
