Love the idea of this whole tourney and I hope to see more of this type of sponsorship of charities in the future. In honor of breast cancer awareness month, PokerNews is proud to partner with Bad Beat on Cancer and the Prevent Cancer Foundation for the Bad Beat on Cancer Challenge. This charity tournament is being held in Nicole Rowe’s honor. All proceeds from this charity tournament on PokerStars.com will be donated to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit group whose mission is to help with cancer prevention and early detection through research, education and community outreach. The tournament will take place on November 12, 2009, at 9:00 p.m. (EST), 6:00 p.m. (PST).
So whether you play poker at home, professionally or at the local rake game, it is always a good idea to donate some of your winnings to your favorite charity.
