7th Annual "All-in" For Kids Poker Benefit
October 17, 2010
About This Event:
Bicycle® Playing Cards presents the 2010 "All-In" for Kids Poker Benefit at our new location, Commerce Casino.
Each year City National Bank and other sponsors host a poker tournament benefiting The Alliance with prizes from the World Poker Tour. Past players include poker pro Annie Duke, Don Cheadle and James L. Brooks, Willie Garson, Hank Azaria, and Nicole Sullivan among others.
The “All-in” for Kids tournament presents guests with an opportunity to play poker in the company of some of Los Angeles’ most influential entertainment and legal community members, poker players and celebrities.
More importantly, the funds raised will help to support The Alliance for Children’s Rights which has provided legal services to nearly 80,000 impoverished, abused and neglected children in Los Angeles since 1992.
Each entrant receives an acknowledgement letter for the charitable contribution portion. The fair market value for the entry fee into the main tournament is $50. The Commerce Casino furnishes necessary IRS W-9 forms for all winners.
