Of course, not all charity poker tournaments can take place at posh locations and feature high-rollers. More common than these large-scale tournaments is the wave of tournaments hosted by non-profits and smaller businesses across America.
With prizes often being donated items such as gift cards or a flat screen TV, charity poker tournaments differ in several ways than competitive tournaments. Besides the fact the winner doesn't always take home cash, the atmosphere is generally laid-back as guests enjoy the game without worrying about the financial aspect. The donated money comes from buy-ins and always goes toward a deserving cause players are happy to "ante up" for!
When it comes to making a positive change, charity poker tournaments are the real deal!
In fact, Pledge 5 will be hosting a charity poker tournament benefiting Toys for Tots! So put on your best poker face and come out to Ocala Poker and Jai-Alai on November 21st for the second annual Pledge 5 Foundation Toys for Tots Poker Tournament. Buy-in is $45 and one unwrapped toy donation. Tickets now available at Pledge5.org.
We hope you see you there...it's going to be a Full House!
**Note: The date of the Gainesville "Gifts" Back benefit has been changed to December 2nd!**
