Hawaiian Poker Event Raises Money for Special Olympics

Hawaii is known for many things, from pristine beaches to ocean breezes and tropical fruits, but poker is it normally not one of them. On the island of Kaua'i the island's best poker players came together to play in a Texas Holdem poker fundraiser to raise money for the Special Olympics. The first prize at the fundraiser was two night stay at the Princeville Resort, the carrot before the horse that was not really necessary, as poker players showed up to support the Special Olympics. The Special Olympics will send more than 100 Special Olympians to events and training all around the country absolutely free thanks to the volunteers and fund-raising efforts of the organization's supporters.
