Jeff Gordon Charity Poker Tourney at Harrah’s Ak-Chin this Friday

40

Both poker and NASCAR have tremendous public followings. Their events receive weekly television coverage, and their promotional merchandise is everywhere. So why not combine the two?

Harrah’s Ak-Chin Resort Casino is doing just that. It is combining poker with NASCAR in the Jeff Gordon Charity Poker Tourney to be held at Harrah’s on Friday, November 11.

Poker is not just a card game. Now it’s a way to give back to charity while having fun at the same time.

NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon and World Series of Poker 2003 champion Chris Moneymaker have teamed with Harrah’s Ak-Chin Resort Casino in Maricopa to hold a “No Limit Hold’em” poker tournament for celebrities, poker enthusiasts and motor sports fans. In fact, you or anyone else can enter for the $250 fee that goes to support several great charities.

The Jeff Gordon Foundation aids several non-profit organizations, including the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, among others.

The event will be held on Veterans Day, this Friday, November 11, at Harrah’s Ak-Chin, which is located at 15406 Maricopa Road. For further information or to enter the tourney, call Harrah’s at 1-800-346-8357.
