“I don’t want any other family to go through what my family has gone through” is a statement that many are wanting to share with others when they host a Poker Run for the Epilepsy Association of Oklahoma.
The event will be held on August 17 and all money raised will be staying in Oklahoma.
“The event is about awareness and educating our schools,” Victoria Blackwell said whose son has epilepsy.
Casino games like poker are a great way to raise funds for a charitable cause. With online gambling websites and Pkv Games soaring in popularity in recent years, those in attendance are likely to have been practicing their gaming skills using online casinos ahead of the big night.
Poker is an effective means of fundraising for several unique reasons.
First, it is a highly social game. Getting to know your opponents is sometimes one of the most enjoyable aspects of the game. Providing you do not end up taking the game too seriously, you are almost guaranteed to have fun.
Second, the objective of the game is to win a prize. In the case of a fundraising poker game, the prize represents money that will go towards a chosen charity. In other words, gamblers play on behalf of the charity to win the largest possible prize.
At a regular casino, a small sum of the money you invest in a poker game is taken by the house. This is a kind of commission fee called a ‘rake’. The rest of the money then goes towards the pot, which any player is able to win. In a charity game, all money you spend on chips, and any subsequent winnings, is given to charity.
The night starts in Oklahoma City and ends in Guthrie. The cost is $20 per rider or $25 with passenger with the first 100 riders receiving a free t-shirt.
Oklahoma State Senator AJ Griffin will be the guest speaker.
