FullTilt Poker Hosts Charity Event for Chimps
No, not “chumps” - that’s no typo - it really is a charity event for chimps, as in chimpanzees.
Full Tilt Poker, in cooperation with FullTilt team member, poker pro Lee Watkinson, is hosting a $5 + $5 No-Limit Texas Holdem Tournament to benefit chimpanzee rescue organization, the Cortland Brandenberg Foundation.
Half of the money raised at the event will go to Cortland Brandenberg, in part to help fund a new wildlife sanctuary slated to open in Washington state in June. The other half will comprise the prize pool for those players who finish the event in-the-money. The first place winner, in addition to the largest chunk of the prize pool, will also win a Curtis & Co. watch.
The “Save Captive Chimps” fundraising event will take place on Sunday, May 25th at 9 pm Eastern Daylight Time.
What’s more, new players can sign up now at FullTilt using promotional code “ANIMALLOVERS” and help ensure that future funding continues for animal shelters.
