As some of you may know my dad is starting chemo treatments on Wednesday.
He has B-cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma stage 4..

I'm running a mtt on PokerStars on Monday, May 19th at 20:30 est   $30+3 buyin
Having all money finishers donate 50% of their winnings to the Dean Porter Donation Fund set up.. Either by going to this site: http://donations.makeityourweb.comand  doing it by CreditCard/Paypal or by just sending to my stars account (tobias fuke)

 

Obviously 100% donations would be fantastic and appreciated!

 

Also, if you are a balla in the online poker world and need a place to write off some money from the I.R.S via charitable donation this would qualify..If you go to the above site we can provide a paper receipt or a virtual one from your bank statement is also acceptable.

Thanks everyone

I'm sorry to hear about your father's condition.  Best of luck with the tourney, and thanks to all P5'ers ahead of time for their support.

Tranquil, sry to hear about your dad - hope all goes well.

 I refuse to play on stars again after all the beats blah blah, but I do have a very small amount of loose change in my account that id rather send to you than just have it sitting there never to be used.

 Please pm me where you would like it sent to.

 Doesnt Stars allow you to increase the entry fee?  Ive seen a few tourneys that are $5+5, where (im guessing) .50 goes to the site and $4.50 goes to the charity.

 Granted, any dollar that goes to charity is a good one, so gl. :)

PokerStars said that there was nothing they could do to help.

So, I just went in and made a regular private mtt and hope that the winners will donate 50%

Thanks

Pocket5er's, consider playing your Sunday Majors tomorrow (or the following Sunday) with the intention of donating a percentage of your winnings to this cause.  The tournament is great, but if a bunch even donate as little as 2% of their winnings on a Sunday, it could make a huge difference.  Hopefully at least some of you will keep this in mind and good luck at the tables.
