The Charity Series of Poker is partnering with the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital this Saturday, August 28 for a virtual charity poker tournament through the Faded Spade platform.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the children's hospital. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to over 80 percent since it opened more than 50 years ago. The research center's philosophy is to keep going until that survival rate hits 100 percent. Money scooped up during the virtual charity poker tournament will go toward further children's cancer research along with providing funding for the families of sick children traveling to and from the facility.
