While global warming isn’t a fun topic, battling it just got a little more entertaining. Protect Our Winters and Ollie Pop have teamed up to host what they’re calling an All in Charity Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament to benefit POW and the winner will win a seat at the 2009 World Series of Poker. The event will take place on Tuesday, January 27 at the Hard Rock and seats are still available.
Here’s the details:
Led by snowboarding icon: Big-mountain Jeremy Jones and Ollie Pop Bubblegum stepping up to organize the event, Protect Our Winters All-In Texas Hold’em charity poker tournament has sparked an avalanche of riders looking to bluff their way to the Grand Prize – a seat in a 2009 World Series of Poker event. Proceeds from the $150 buy-in event will benefit Protect Our Winters (POW), the snow industry’s non-profit, dedicated to reversing the global warming crisis through a united front of winter sports enthusiasts and Poker players alike.
Protect Our Winters welcomes Full Tilt Poker who stepped up big-time as Tournament Grand Prize Sponsor making a substantial cash donation to the charity, and will be present representing the Poker community onsite at the Hard Rock Casino.
In addition to the Poker tournament, POW will recognize and identify several key brand efforts, products, practices, and draw inspiration from industry efforts to move towards a more sustainable business model. Whether it’s using less toxic resins, using recycled fabric to create outerwear, reducing packaging and waste, or moving manufacturing back to the US; POW pays respect to efforts to work towards sustainability. Key brands include: Vans, Bluebird, Arbor, Bonfire, Ally Video, Bond Outerwear, Eesa, Rossignol, Bern, Oakley, and Back to the Tap
