Home Poker Tournament Raises More
This past weekend was the second of the monthly Home Poker Tournaments to raise money in support of my Livestrong Ride. This month we had 13 players and raised $97.50 in the house rake from the tournament. The “rake” is the house’s cut of the action. Also, this time, I came in third place and donated my winnings to the LAF also. After doing so the second place person donated his earnings, minus a beer run, to the LAF as well. The money jar sat in the middle of the room the entire night and collected money from some spectators who showed and decided not to play. Overall the tournament raised over $125 this weekend.
If you’re looking for an easy fun fundraiser, this is the one for you. Everyone loves to play here and in two months the tournaments have raised almost $250.
