Keep Memory Alive Hosts Second Annual Texas Hold ‘Em Charity Poker Tournament on Sept. 27

Keep Memory Alive is raising the stakes for brain health during the second Annual Texas Hold ‘Em Charity Poker Tournament on Friday, Sept. 27 at the Keep Memory Alive Event Center in Las Vegas. Hosted by casino legend Jack Binion, proceeds from the tournament will support the work of Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health and its fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, ALS and more.

Open to all players 21 and older from beginner to advanced skill levels, the tournament is a $500 initial buy-in, with a first-place prize of $10,000. Runners-up will score exclusive chef dinners, awe-inspiring trips, exquisite jewelry, and first-class wine.

Last year Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson, Daniel “Kid Poker” Negreanu, Barry Shulman, Jack McClelland, and ‘Bar Rescue’ host Jon Taffer played in the tournament. You can purchase tickets for the event at this link.

Guests will enjoy cuisine from Clique Hospitality venues, including Bottiglia, Borracha, Greene St. Kitchen, Hearthstone and more, along with cocktails from Casa Dragones. Exciting silent auction packages will be up for bid, along with other entertainment.

General admission tickets are also available for $125 per person for those not wishing to participate in the tournament, but still wanting to go all-in for brain health and support Keep Memory Alive.

“Last year’s inaugural event was so much fun, we knew we had to bring it back this year,” said Camille Ruvo, Keep Memory Alive vice-chairwoman and co-founder. "Research suggests that mental fitness, including learning and honing a skill overtime, is good for your brain, so players really are going all-in for brain health.”
