New York, NY, September 27, 2017 --(PR.com)-- On Thursday, October 19 at the Roger Smith Hotel in New York City, Lend a Hand Uganda - USA (LAHU-USA) will host it’s Third Annual Poker Tournament to support its newest project, providing running water, healthy lunches and needed latrines for LAHU-USA “adopted” schools in the districts of Uganda.
Players can join at multiple sponsorship levels, starting with the most basic: an individual poker buy-in for $200 (which includes 5,000 in starting chips) and a VIP individual poker buy-in for $288 (which includes pre-tournament VIP reception and 1,500 additional chips for 6,500 total in starting chips). The top prize of the night includes a Cash Prize and a seat at the 2018 Poker4Life Lucky “13” Annual Charity Poker Championship.
