All In for Kids Poker Tournament
I’m in NYC this week to host the annual All in For Kids Poker Tournament at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. I’ve been involved with this event for years, and it’s one of my favorite ways to give back. The tournament brings together celebrities, athletes, and World Poker Tour professional players with Hospital Trustees, donors, and grateful families for an exciting night of poker to benefit Children’s Hospital.
To date, the tournament has raised $4.3 million. And you don’t have to be at the poker table in NY to contribute – just visit All In to donate. Every little bit helps!
