Enter the Blatt Billiards showroom and warehouse in Woodridge, New Jersey, and your eyes will drift upward to the wooden frames of antique pool tables, stacked one on another, climbing to the ceiling. | Cigar Aficionado
Jeanette Lee
A GoFundMe campaign – The Jeanette Lee Legacy Fund – was launched on February 2 to help the pool’s most recognizeable icon, the Black Widow, by assisting her in covering medical bills as she battles stage 4 ovarian cancer and as a legacy to cover the day-to-day needs and college expenses of her children. The pool community responded quickly, with APA’s Jason Bowman and Billiards’ Digest publisher Mike Panozzo hosting A Night to Celebrate the Black Widow, which streamed live, three weeks after the creation of the Legacy fund. It was followed by a series of benefit tournaments, the first of which Lee was able to attend. The fund will come to a close on June 20th, having generated over $240,000 in donations.
