About "Poker for Dave"

Dave Marquith is a one-man Criminal Justice division at Sheridan College and was recently diagnosed with leukemia. He's in Colorado Springs receiving treatment. John Molloy, Adam Burling and I are putting together a poker tournament, silent auction/raffle and dance to help defray his costs. We'll be doing some fundraising for the main event, which will be May 3rd at the Golden Dome on the Sheridan College campus.

Check out the links for information on the type of leukemia Dave has, and, if you're going to compete in the tournament, there's some links on Texas Hold 'em. Also, our please view our list of donors and patronize their businesses to thank them for what they have done for Dave. Our list of volunteers is off to the side as well.

Just a quick update

I started archiving the donor list because it was getting so long. That's a good thing though. The full list is on a webpage linked off of this one and the most recent donations are listed on the front page. I'll shuffle them around though, so the same few don't continuously stay on the front page. I want to make it fair for everyone.

I also added a couple more people on our "Usual Suspects" list. We now have Cody Donahue, another one of Dave's students. He's a great guy, so I'm happy to see him come on board. We also have Mike Lanker (my dad) who is a big Texas Hold 'em player and is going to deal in the tournament. He also said he'd help any beginners who want it. He's helped me before, but that was right before he took my money. He won't be playing though, he'll be dealing, so it will be okay to sit at his table.

I can tell Dave is feeling better. I talked to him this morning and he's starting to get ornery again. That's a good sign. We hope to see him up here for the tournament. Like I said, if he makes it up here (which he said he will), he'll be the dealer at the final table. There's more to come next week, same Bat time, same Bat channel.
