Strength for Hope Foundation Hosts Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament
This blog primarily deals with alcohol-related content; however, we occasionally take a step off the drunken path to bring attention to a cause or an event that helps others or improves our community. My cousin, Mari McNally, is the events coordinator with the Strength for Hope Foundation, which is a newly formed, non-profit organization that seeks help for patients in need of rehabilitative care through the help of grants. Mari mentioned the organization was planning a charity event featuring a Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament, which sounds like a fun way to get involved and help a good cause.
First, let me tell you a little bit about the organization. According to Strength for Hope's website, "The mission of [our] Foundation is to give those who have no insurance coverage an opportunity to receive optimal rehabilitative health care when no other means exist. Instead of allowing a disadvantaged patient to deteriorate while awaiting approval for rehabilitation, our Foundation seeks to provide financial assistance by giving patients with limited monetary means an opportunity to seek rehabilitative health care at facilities that are capable of providing the most advanced care possible, thus providing them Strength for Hope."
The Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament is Saturday, February 18, from 6 p.m. to midnight at the Double Tree Hotel, 500 W. 127th St., Alsip, IL. There will be the main poker tournament, as well as several side tables so everyone has an opportunity to play and win. There are prizes available, including a $500 Visa gift card, and even if you don't win at least you're supporting a good cause. To register for this event, click here.
In addition to the scheduled poker tournament in February, Strength for Hope Foundation is currently in the process of organizing a 5k race for April, a charity date auction for June, and a charity softball tournament for fall 2012.
