Friends of Fresh and Green Academy Inc, a registered non-profit charity that works to feed, educate, clothe, and provide medical care for children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is hosting its Third Annual Texas Hold'em Poker Charity Fundraiser on September 12th, 2011. The event will be held in Manhattan at Connolly's Pub and Restaurant, 121 W. 45th Street, 3rd floor, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. The evening's festivities include professional dealers and tables, Texas Hold'em and Blackjack, Monday Night Football, premium open bar, and three hours of passed hors d'oeuvres. Attendees also get $2,500 worth of chips. Beginners' tables and instruction will be available.
"Tables compete and those who win are eligible for some great prizes," says Trish Hack-Rubinstein, President and Co-founder of Friends of Fresh and Green Academy Inc. "The top three winners will receive prize packages valued at more than $1,500." Some of the prizes include a $1,000 gift certificate to Van Cleef & Arpels, Mets VIP seats and parking, year-long gym memberships, fine wine, helicopter rides over Manhattan, massage therapy vouchers, dinners for two at NYC restaurants, Broadway tickets, fine art photography, and much more.
"The money raised will ensure the children at the Academy continue to eat three meals a day. Last year's Poker and Casino Night raised more than $5,000 to benefit the students, and we're hoping to double that this year."
