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.

However, the Rotary hosted, 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 tournament and fundraiser is on Saturday, June 11, 2016 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. Dinner is served from 5-6pm.

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

The auction prizes include tickets a foursome of golf at Tijeras Golf Course and two season tickets to South Coast Symphony plus much more.

Some of the nonprofit charities to select are Age Well Senior Services, Mission Hospital Foundation, Mission Viejo Nadadores, Rotary Club, Saddleback College Foundation, South County Outreach, Stand Up For Kids, Vocational Visions and Boy Scouts of America OC Council.
