Over the last few months Ive been thinking of a way to raise money for cancer charities through poker. My father died from cancer 10 years ago and I have done a few things in those years to raise money such as triathlons (dont f'in laugh!).

Yes indeed. I think someone already said you are welcome to 1% of 0 Dave but I plan a major assault on the poker world next year so you should make at least a fiver out of me.

I'll happily pledge 1%. Unfortunately, at the moment that would be 1% of nothing, seeing as I don't play Live much, if at all, however, I plan on playing alot more Live tourneys in '06, so who knows......

But it's a really great idea and I wish you the best of luck in getting it off the ground.

I made about 10K last year in live games and about ....emmm... $3.22 in online , so hopefully I can donate about $100 next year if I do well.

I think there should be 3 or 4 charity games a year, with maybe E20-25 going to charity in each tourney. This way I think I could donate at least E200 per year.

Are we really sure thats big D in the photo?

Count me in, only saw the thread today, but a great idea, I know they do it in the states, ie World Series etc.

It will be hard work mate, but if you get it off the ground, I'm be supporting you.

Please go to www.onepercentpledge.com and sign up and tell us what you think. Over the next week or so I will be distributing envelopes to the following for you to donate....

The Fitz
Green Joker Poker
PokerEvents
The Irish Open

A big thank you to a certain 'unnamed' boardster for working on the website. I could not have done this without his help. Also, another boardster for the printing work and thanks to all you boardsters for your help......now start winning!

Stay tuned for some nice prize draws for members and some online games to qualify for the ICHUC GB v Ireland game (see news section).

Cheers

Dave

This is a great idea. I've signed up on the site but how do we donate money from our offline winnings? By donating through the site? I play alot more live and have been running pretty well of late so I hope to throw a few bob into the kitty.

Heah KaG. Thanks for your interest but the whole thing is on hold due to the whole logistics of organising and running this. If you are still interested in donating to The Jack and Jill Foundation www.jackandjill.ie please contact them direct.

Thanks

Dave
