Play poker for fun or profit…and help FAN raise scholarship funds for the Philippines!

Our charity beneficiary, Believe International, will be there again to raise sponsorships for students in the Philippines. Online and cash sponsorship opportunities will be available, with some other surprises. 20% of our night’s net raised funds will go directly to them. For more information, please click www.believeinternational.org.

The rest of the night’s proceeds will directly benefit the Filipino American network, FAN, so we can continue to offer our following annual events:

-Tagalog Lessons
-Passport Series: Children’s Museum at Navy Pier
-Adobofest
-Beyond the Barrelman Art Exhibition
-Chicago Filipino American Film Festival
-Senior Gift Basket Drive

Please email us at info@fan-chicago.org for more details and volunteer opportunities!

To add to the excitement, our main tournament, professionally run by Main Even Charity Games, on our behalf, will be recorded and televised in a few weeks on Comcast Sportsnet. Here is their first ever broadcast, televised on March 9th. http://www.windycitypokerchampionship.com/

Poker Play details:

No cover at the door. All games are played on actual casino-style, 10-seat, green-felt poker tables. Bring cash to buy chips.

Vegas / Indiana -Boat style Texas Hold’em poker is dealt by experienced dealers, played with real 12 gram clay poker chips and professionally officiated. You bet as little as you want, on any game you want: Tournaments, 1-2 no-limit, 3-6 max bet, pot limit, etc.

There is an ongoing sign-up board so you can join in as soon as you walk in. Simply bring cash to buy chips.

Max rake per pot is $4 or 5%, whichever is lowest. Tournament fees are only a few bucks. Our 501(c) 3 charity raises funds from these collections.
