This years event was a complete success and we raised close to $10,000.00! I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who came out and helped make the event such a huge success this year. I met a lot of wonderful people Friday night that came from all over Florida and even as far as Texas to support the cause. There were even a couple survivors who have recently been diagnosed that were able to come out and play in the tournament.
The tournament started around 7 PM and finished close to 11 PM. With just about 70 players registering for the event we had a few alternates that couldn't sit right away but we were able to get everyone sat before the first break of the evening. The rest of the tournament went off with out a hitch. Once we got down to the final 9 players we auctioned off the 10th seat of the final table for $350.00 that went to Dr. Steve Racine. Once we started back up it didn't take long to get to our winner Jose Garcia who went heads up with John Polk to win the event and Kris Adams came in third.
Already looking forward to next years event and seeing everyone there again. Till next year GOD BLESS!

Another thing we are doing the evening of the tournament is the 50/50 Last Man Standing Contest. How this works each person who donates $10 dollars to participate will get a bracelet to put on their arm to mark that they are taking part in the contest. All the money collected will be split 50/50 between the charity and the last man standing at the end of the evening will win 50% of the total money collect. This is a great way to raise some extra money for the Pancreatic Cancer Network and All In For A Cure.

One of the biggest things to accomplish other than making sure people are showing up to participate in the poker tournament is getting the sponsorships filled to to make the event a success for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and myself personally. There are a number of sponsorships for the event but this year I've created a smaller one that would allow a smaller business to get in front of a hundred poker players and spectators at the Charity Poker Tournament and hundreds of website visitors leading up to the event. This is a perfect opportunity to get in front of all those people for a small donation to help out a great cause and raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research which my Dad has recently passed away from this year.
The Business Sponsorship is only a $75.00 donation to the event. The sponsorship includes a Promotional Flier in the swag bag which can be a coupon or a special deal you want to offer all poker players at the event. Your company logo will also be placed on the website for everyone to see that you made a donation to the event.
This is an opportunity to get involved with a great cause and help raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Each year about 32,000 individuals in the United States are diagnosed with this condition. The prognosis is generally regarded as poor, with few victims still alive 5 years after diagnosis, and complete remission still extremely rare.
If you are interested in helping please give Neil Belliveau a call at 407-637-4852 for more information or visit

We have just launched the new website and blog to help promote the 2009 All In For A Cure Charity Poker Tournament. This year's event is extra special for me as my father had passed on April 10, 2009 from his battle with Pancreatic Cancer.
Initial planning has started as we look to book a venue and start to secure some of our main sponsorships for the event. Once the venue is secured we will be getting into full blown promotion of the event. Some great contacts have been made over the last few months which should make this the best event to date.
