Online Poker -- UB Hosting Second Sundays Charity EventMoney Will Be Raised for the Dravet Syndrome Foundation |
|
UB will host the October Second Sundays fundraiser to benefit the Dravet Syndrome Foundation (DSF) this Sunday, Oct. 10, at 2:45 p.m. EST.
The $10+$0 buy-in Second Sundays event will give online players a chance to give back. UB will match the total funds raised by its players, with all proceeds donated to the DSF. Team UB’s Brandon Cantu is the tournament’s host
“In poker, a lot of the time it’s all about trying to win money at the expense of someone else losing it, so it feels good to play the game to benefit someone else,” Cantu said in a press release. “To support a cause that helps fund research to find a cure for this life-threatening form of childhood epilepsy is something that I’m proud to do.”
The DSF is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for Dravet Syndrome — a rare form of childhood epilepsy. Proceeds will go not only toward research, but also to help afflicted individuals and families.
The charity tournament will award 10 $200+$15 entries to UB’s weekly $200,000-guarantee tournament. The winner will also receive a wireless poker controller. A bounty will be placed on Cantu, and the player who records the knockout will get a $66 entry to UB’s $7,000-guarantee at 9:30 p.m. EST Sunday.
Direct donations can be made on UB via player-to-player transfers to the account CHARITIES. Players can also donate via the UltimatePoints store. Donations start as low as 500 UltimatePoints ($3.50 equivalent). Last month’s Second Sundays charity event raised $4,621.50 for a different foundation.
