“If you haven’t played in this tournament before, it’s an entertaining evening with good friends, good fun, and all for a great cause – 100% of the evening’s proceeds will help support the Cancer Support Center and the amazing programming they provide,” said organizer Brent Bachus.
Since the inception of the CSC Community Board, the organization has raised more than $700,000 through its annual Texas Hold’em tournament and other events, he said. For additional information, contact Bachus at 708-267-4660 or [email protected].
