Charity Tournament
Hosted by Hollywood Poker
22
September 2005
Hollywood Poker, the celebrity online
poker room, is working on brining the stars together for
a friendly poker tournament in order to support a good
cause. For this event, Hollywood Poker has partnered
with the charity, International Hospital for Children
Foundation. This charity is supported by actor Dennis
Quaid, and is working towards providing aid to the
children who were victims of hurricane Katrina in
Louisiana.
For the rest of the month at Hollywood Poker, the online
poker site will match the prize pool from 2 of the
weekly tournaments and donate the profits to the
International Hospital for Children Foundation, as well
as the American Cross. The two weekly tournaments that
are a part of the charity initiative are the Michael
Woods Celebrity Invitation, which occurs every Thursday
night, followed by the Hollywood Poker Celebrity
Classic, which occurs every Sunday afternoon.
Hollywood Poker’s resident star, James Woods, recently
commented that he was touched by the mutual relief
efforts that thousands of individuals have undertaken to
help alleviate the tragedy caused by Hurricane Katrina.
Woods personally feels honored to be a part of the
ongoing efforts made by Hollywood Poker to reach out and
help those in need.
Another star, Dennis Quaid, commented on the current
fund raising efforts saying that "On behalf of the
International Hospital for Children Foundation, our
hearts go out to the children affected by the storm.”
Quaid also said that both he and the foundation feel it
is their duty to assist victims in any way possible.
They are ready to lend support to all who so desperately
need it. The International Hospital for Children
Foundation is extremely grateful to Hollywood Poker for
making the event possible.
