Fundraiser Goes Global
The global online casino and poker gambling industry has shown enormous support
for the periodic and annual fundraisers that take place all over the world and
for a variety of causes. The “Ante Up for Africa” fundraising tournament has
been a huge hit for the past several years that the event has run in Las Vegas –
professional online casino poker players and celebrities have come out in huge
support of the tournament and it annually raises a hefty sum to support the Ante
Up for Africa charity.
PokerStars has also shown huge support for this annual tournament and has even
been instrumental in launching the tournament in the European market this year.
This will be the first year that the European online casino gambling industry
has the opportunity to show their support and enthusiasm for the Ante Up for
Africa charitable cause. The strong support of PokerStars is undoubtedly a huge
factor in the charity’s ability to raise even more funds and launch into new
markets.
The poker tournament was first started by Don Cheadle and Annie Duke – two names
from Hollywood and the poker pro scene that have a lot of pull. Professional
online casino poker gamblers play alongside Hollywood celebrities to raise the
valuable funds. This new European version of the AUFA tournament not only has
the support and publicity of the PokerStars online poker gambling group, but
will run alongside this year’s European Poker Tour – a fact that will surely
draw more attention to the event and generate even more funds raised for the
charity. |
