Tournament organizers, The Cue Club and Northern/Celtic Poker are donating the registration fee while sponsor Party Poker will match all rebuy/top-up donations. Poker for the Homeless and Party Poker ambassador Padraig Parkinson, said, "Poker for the Homeless has been without a roof over its head for four years, and we're delighted to have finally found it a home again at Grand Prix Killarney. "We all know the toll the recession has taken on Ireland and the housing crisis has added further to the problems the most vulnerable in society are facing. "Over the last decade the Irish poker community, with the help of our many generous friends from abroad, has raised almost €250,000 for Irish homeless causes, and we'll pull together again to show our support for the amazing work these charities do on the frontline, day-in, day-out, giving desperate people hope." The Poker for the Homeless Killarney event is supported by Party Poker, The Cue Club, Northern/Celtic Poker and Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club. |
