Poker Tournament for a Cause...Just announced!!!!
Hi guys,
Witch Doctor Poker along with the help of Brent and Cam from West Side Poker are proud to announce an upcoming tournament to help raise money for a young 21 month old girl from London, Ontario named Faith Abbey. Faith has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and we want to do our part to help the family out. The tournament will be held on Sunday October 2nd and will be in Markham, near Markville mall (Hwy 7 and McCowan). Registration starts at Noon and the tourney will begin at 1:00 p.m. sharp. This will be a 100% rake free event. The location has been donated, all food and drinks will be sold at cost. The only person benefiting will be little Faith. The tournament will be a $95 freezout with $30 of each buy-in going to the family we are helping out. We have lots of corporate help for this event. We have lots of companies providing prizes for the event and even more commited including Daniel Negreanu and Dave Scharf both contributing items for the tourney and silent auction. Please check out our website www.witchdoctorpoker.com under the Poker for a Cause tab, for more info and on the list of sponsors, which will change as we recieve the contributions. This tourney will be capped at 80 people meaning we should be able to raise the family close to $2500 for this one event (hopefully one will follow in London a few weeks after). Please e-mail charitypoker@witchdoctorpoker.com to reserve your spot or message me here on the forum. This event will fill up fast as it is for a good cause and the fact that everyone will receive some sort of prize for attending. We do require a $30 deposit be paid before September 25 (the portion that we are contributing to Faith). This can be made by paypal (message for address to pay), cash, cheque, money order etc...  It can be dropped off or mailed to myself in thornhill or to Brent or Cam from West Side Poker. Any other questions just ask.....My wife and I have poured our hearts and souls into the organization of this event as we really want to help this family out. We ourselves have a 11 month old son and we can't fathom what this little girl and her family are going through. We made it earlier on a Sunday so if you are from out of town you can still make it home in plenty of time. We hope to see you there...show your support and participate in Poker for a Cause!!
