Default Poker fundraiser brings stars to Vegas



Quote:
Stars such as Tony Hawk, Christian Slater, Brad Garrett, Jason Alexander, Joanna Krupa, Montel Williams, Donnie Wahlberg, Marlon Waynes and Slash were among the 39 players who competed in the $540 event in The Venetian Poker Room – raising more than $42,000 for Three Square, a food charity in Southern Nevada.

AJ Buckley from CSI NY, Nicholas Gonzalez and Shaun Sipos of CW’s Melrose Place and UFC fighter Tito Ortiz were also in attendance.
I think its great that the stars participate in these fundraisers. They do take time from their very busy schedules to be at fundraisers like this one that will cause Three Square to be able to offer nutritious meals to those in need.

After the tournament, everyone got together at TAOs for cocktails and entertainment by TPain.

This is a wonderful thing,to have famous people to help raise money for the less fortunate.I mean you know that alot of people are going to be there and it will be highly publisized.

To think that even the foamous people still have a heart and care is a very cool thing.Not all people famous or not have it in them to give a crap anymore,they are all to worried about themselves and what they are going through to care to make time for anything or anyone else.

It is just a relaxing peaceful thought to me to imagine the people in this world that care so much to do things like this.There really should be more of it.

I agree with both of you. That was a wonderful thing for them all to do. It's amazing what celebrities can accomplish. Thats a lot of money that they raised and for a worthwhile charity too. Kudos to them! Just think about all the good that could be done if they'd all give a little of their time!
