PLAYING ONLINE POKER FOR THE POOR AND NEEDY
New poker site will facilitate charity fundraising
Look out for Poker Fundraiser.org, a new site designed to assist in fund-raising
for the needy which has been put together by Superior Poker.
The site features a new and completely automated system that allows charities
to accept up to 50 percent of the proceeds from online poker tournaments as donations.
The remaining proceeds go to poker tournament winners.
Poker Fundraiser's first benefit tournament is being held on October 15, 2005
for an industry veteran’s wife who was diagnosed with cancer. The Kristen
Richter Fund tournament was established to help with the overwhelming hospital
bills incurred.
”Charity poker is something we’ve considered from day one at Superior
Poker,” commented Superior Poker’s General Manager, Scott Owens.
“With PokerFundraiser.org, we can host charity tournaments where the prize
pool is split 50/50 between the player and the charity organization. This allows
us to donate a significant amount to charities while still providing a large enough
tournament prize incentive.”
Charities who wish to be considered for a tournament can sign up on the website
at Poker Fundraiser.org
