Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles (JBBBSLA) is hosting its second annual poker tournament at The Hollywood Park Casino on September 29.
The event will kick off at 5:30 pm, with dinner and poker instruction, after which the main affair, a no-limit Texas hold'em tournament, will take place. The JBBBSLA, an organization offering mentoring services and social activities to underprivileged inner city youth, has posted the tournament buy-in at $200, with a top prize of $5,000 up for grabs. Tournament organizers expect approximately 150 to 200 players to participate.
"Over the past 90 years, JBBBSLA has relied on volunteer mentors to serve the thousands of children that have benefited from our mentoring-based programs, and it is through events like this that we say thank you to existing volunteers and welcome new ones into our organization," commented JBBBSLA CEO Margy Feldman.
