The tournament is aiming to raise £50,000 through ticket sales, sponsorships, and charitable donation.
Jackie Bliss, chief executive of Harp, said: “We rely greatly on the support of the local community to fund our vital, life-saving work with local people affected by homelessness, and the money raised by our amazing business community at the event will help greatly in our mission to help every person in Southend who comes to us for support. Thank you so much to everyone involved!”
