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

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/
