Charity Poker Tournament @ Fall 2004 VON
Please join me for the Fall 2004 VON Charity Poker Tournament.
What are the 3 most happening trends in the world today?
1. VoIP
2. Poker
3. Celebrity Spotting
For the first time ever, the three come together for one day only at Fall 2004 VON at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Oct. 17, at the Best Bet for the Cure: Charity Poker Tournament To benefit The Barton Center for Diabetes Education, Inc. (a 501(c)(3) non-profit). The Barton Center will donate a portion of its proceeds to the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation.
The money raised for this event goes directly to the Barton Center. pulver.com is helping to underwrite this event and is donating our resources to help produce it.
