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. Please direct questions to meglanker@hotmail.com, or click here for a printable press release.

Good news about the event!

We have a DJ for the dance! Even though just about every school has a prom that weekend, I snagged a DJ! Carol Garcia recommended Jared Martin of 2 Partyhounds and he's going to do the dance for us very cheaply. We'll also be ordering some customized poker chips as souvenirs for those who enter the tournament.

We've added some new donors and I'm excited to announce that I have the tickets and posters designed for the event. We'll have the tickets on sale next week and I'll post on here when they are ready. They still need to be printed. Also, I'm hoping to hold an organizational meeting next week and a meeting for the dealers for the tournament the week after. I'll post that info as soon as I get it.

I'm putting up a new letter from Dave in a little bit. He's hit a little bump in the road, but I'll let him explain it. It's not too major, so hopefully we'll see him soon.
