Hold ‘Em For Hunger, April 20, 2008, Chapel Hill, NC
Hold ‘Em For Hunger (HEFH) is the United States largest charity poker tournament and it is set to break all of its own records during the 2008 event. Over 1,000 players will pack the Eddie Smith Field House on the campus of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill on April 20th to try their hand at winning this prestigious event.
Beginning in 2005, HEFH has quickly climbed the ladder from successful to legendary. Last year’s tournament saw a capacity crowd in the Great Hall of 510 players as the winner took home a 52” DLP HDTV worth almost $3,000 and 39 other players took home a collective purse of over $8,000 in prizes.
This year will prove to be the most historic event in HEFH history with prizes ranging from a $3,000 custom SYM Jet Euro Scooter to an all-expense paid European vacation valued at $6,000! Many more amazing prizes will be given out as poker players enjoy competition, a BBQ lunch, sponsorship gala, entertainment, and much more in their efforts to alleviate extreme poverty with the UNC Chapter of Nourish International!
Online registration, for all major credit cards, is now available on www.holdemforhunger.org and campus ticket sales will begin at Nourish International’s Hunger Lunch on April 2nd for only $25! So, pack your darkest sunglasses, practice your best poker face, and get ready for this monumental event in Nourish International history!
