Description

I am the coordinator of the 8th Annual Poker Tournament to benefit the Veterans in Central Missouri. This year we will donate all profits to Welcome Home and to Mizzou Marines Detachment 828. I have personally ran this event every year. Due to the support and generosity of the community, businesses and individuals, we have raised over $125,000 in total.

The purpose of this message is to ask for a donation to the poker tournament to raffle or auction to raise money for this wonderful cause. The date this year for the event is Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the Elks Lodge in Columbia, MO.

Anything you can do to help with this is greatly appreciated. Please contact me with any questions you might have.

Thank you in advance,

Chris Malone
