03/10/2010

B.R.A.K.E.S. will hold a charity poker tournament on Tuesday, March 23, the week of the Inaugural NHRA 4-Wide Nationals, to raise funds for its Teen Pro-Active Driving School. Members of the motorsports community will have the opportunity to support the 501(c)(3) foundation and its mission by taking their chances at Texas Hold'Em.

"I'm speaking for everyone involved with B.R.A.K.E.S. when I say how excited we are about holding this charity poker tournament," said the organization's founder, Doug Herbert. "I know there are a lot of guys - and girls - in the racing community here that enjoy playing poker. We think this is a fun way for them to win some great prizes while supporting a great cause."

The tournament, held at Ray Evernham Enterprises in Mooresville, N.C., begins at 6:30pm, with cards in the air at 7:00pm. A ticket to play in the tournament is $250, which includes the buy-in, dinner and three drink tickets. The event will also include a raffle and entertainment. Players will receive an additional $250 in chips for bringing a non-playing guest for a $40 donation. Seats are limited so players are encouraged to register in advance by calling (704) 732-8950.
