Let's Give Them a Shot Poker Tourament

Let's Give Them a Shot Poker Tourament
You definitely don't need to be a World Series of Poker-level player to have fun!

The Annual Poker Tournament is one of Let's Give Them a Shot's most exciting Fundraisers.
In order to provide athletic instruction and equipment to kids in at-risk neighborhoods and to expand the program to go into even more schools and recreation centers, Let's Give Them a Shot needs funding so that we can provide coaches and equipment to these groups. At this year's Poker Tournie, attendees got to enjoy a fantastic night out with prizes, gifts, great food & of course, POKER, while helping at-risk children at the same time!
