November 1st Charity Poker Tournament

    • avatar for RobertP
    • Okay, so we're doing a tounament on the 1st to raise money for the San Jose Eagles annual Disadvantaged Children's Christmas Shopping Spree. This is where kids from the San Jose Unified School District and Special Olympics and chosen by their teachers, counselors and Principals for having improved in school to go on a shopping spree two weeks before Christmas.

      The parents bring their children to a local Department Store where they are turned over to a volunteer chaperone who then takes the child on a $150 shopping spree. We've found that most of these kids buy gifts for their family members first and then get a little something for them selfs with what is left.

      Teachers and School Administrators have told us what fantastic tool this shopping spree is to encourage children to do well in school.

      Anyone interested in getting more information on the tournament or how you can help the kids, contact me at eagle_aye(at)sbcglobal(dot)net.
