Established in 2014, the Charity Series of Poker is a nonprofit company founded to organize and promote charity poker tournaments and other events that raise money and awareness for worthy charities and causes. Poker professional Matt Stout is the founder and president of the CSOP. This upcoming event will be the 67th stop for the series as it continues a strong lineup of events that has spanned many years.
Regarding this upcoming event, the CSOP website offered the following additional info:
“Nestled upon 2500 acres of unspoiled South African wilderness, our sanctuary is not only home to Munu, our critically endangered blind rhino, but it serves as the only dedicated black rhino sanctuary of its kind. As the poaching crisis intensifies, we’re expanding to an orphanage, rescue & rehabilitation center, & research hub for endangered wildlife. All proceeds from this event will go towards urgently upgrading the anti-poaching unit and ranger infrastructure on the property.” — Shannon Elizabeth, Founder
