Poker Benefits Kauai’s Special Olympics
The first prize may not have compared to the Millions on offer this week at the World Series Of Poker, but a two-night stay at the Princeville Resort isn't too shabby when the cause is a little more important that money or gold.
The tournament in question was a Texas Hold'Em Poker Fundraiser for the Kauai Special Olympics. It was held on August 6th and took place at the Wailua Marina Restaurant. 40 players gathered with the aim of sending as many Special Olympians to events and training across the country as possible.
"These kids have no opportunity to compete in sports at school. There are four weekends a year where they get to be normal kids with no social pressure." Said Pat Coon, Special Olympics Coach.
Their next fundraiser is an event in which two police officers are to stand on top of a building for two and a half days in order to raise $25,000. It's going to be called "Cop on Top."
