Last month, poker players both young and old put their skills to the test in the 6th annual GRACE Poker Tournament!
On Saturday, February 3rd, guests arrived at Park Place Land Rover DFW and experienced celebrity-style treatment with a red carpet! Hors d’oeuvres courtesy of Scratch Kitchen and a selection of wines courtesy of Classic Wine were enjoyed by all as players prepared to settle in for the tournament. Blackjack tables and even a practice poker table were also available for those who weren’t quite ready to play in the official game.
The four rounds of poker were guided by Bryan Campanello, champion of the 44th Annual World Series of Poker, and strong supporter of GRACE. With each round, the number of players dwindled…until the final three remained! In the end, Brad Wilson with Parity Consultants was crowned this year’s GRACE Poker Tournament champion! Congratulations, Brad – and well done to all of this year’s players!
This exciting annual event exists to support the many programs and services offered by GRACE. It signals the start of a new year, and kicks things off on the right foot! GRACE is so thankful to each person that made this event a success. We extend an extra special thank you to each of our sponsors: Wright Construction, The Matthews Estate, BoomerJack’s, Johnny and Laura Campanello, Parity Technology Group, the Netzer Family Charitable Foundation, and Alford Media. We are able to serve more clients experiencing hunger, housing crises, and healthcare needs because of your generosity.
