Poker Charity Event Hosted by the Rotary Club.

When it comes to charity events, there are usually two different kinds--those where all the proceeds go to charity and those that give a portion to the charity while awarding the rest to the players.

The Mission Viejo Texas Holdem Poker Tournament is letting you select the charity while also having an opportunity to win money. It is a night to raise funds for local organizations and have fun.

The Mission Viejo Rotary is hosting the tournament and fundraiser on Saturday, June 13, 2015 at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way from 5 pm to 11 pm. First-hand will be dealt at 6 pm.

The tournament and fundraiser includes beverages, dinner, prizes and much more. When you register $50 of the $60 will go to your designated charity.

The auction prizes include tickets to an Angel game, a foursome of golf at Arroyo Trabuco, two season tickets to South Coast Symphony, $175 in Apple certificates, $100 gift certificate from Trader Joe’s, family membership to Montanoso/Sierra Recreation Centers, wine and more.

Some of the nonprofit charities to select are Rotary Club, Mission Hospital Foundation, National Consortium of Breast Centers, Saddleback College Foundation, Special Olympics Host Town, South County Outreach, Vocational Visions and Boy Scouts of America OC Council.

You can also win $25 by knocking out local celebrities that include the Chief of Police, council members, a Mission Viejo Olympian, the President of the Chamber of Commerce and the Saddleback College Chancellor.
