Play for the kids - Friends of HE Parks to Host Poker Tourney to Benefit Scholarship Fund

The Friends of HE Parks Foundation, the 501(c)3 charitable arm of the Hoffman Estates Park District, is pleased to share they will be hosting a Texas Hold'Em Tournament on Saturday, November 9, 2019, at Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club, 1400 Poplar Creek Drive, Hoffman Estates.

The event will feature a Texas Hold'Em Poker Tournament with cash prizes along with dinner and a cash bar. The $50 buy-in includes tournament entry, a Walking Taco buffet for dinner and one drink ticket. Along with the main tournament, Sit N Go single-table poker tournaments will also occur throughout the evening. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Friends of HE Parks Foundation scholarship fund.

"We're thrilled to host this poker event as a fun evening out that doubles as a fundraiser for our scholarship fund," according to Ron Evans, a Foundation Trustee. "The Friends of HE Parks Foundation has a long track record, with more than $200,000 donated to nearly 500 families since its inception in 2005. These donations wouldn't be possible without the support and participation from the community in our fundraisers."

Doors open at 6 pm with poker running from 7 pm until midnight. Advance registration is encouraged at heparks.org/poker as seating is limited.
