UB.com launches Second Sundays Charity Poker Tournaments
- 3-15-2010
UB.com in collaboration with National heads Up Champ and UB sponsored pro Duke, has introduced Second Sundays, a new series of events benefiting charities. The series kicked off on Sunday, March 14th and will run on the second Sunday of each month. Players taking part in these events will have a chance to compete for cash prizes, entries to UB events, UB.com gear, and Rockwell Time and Monster JAMZ products, while making a contribution to a charitable organization.
 “We’re struggling with a difficult economy. Charitable organizations have recently experienced a drastic decline in donations. Most people, though sympathetic to charitable causes, have simply cut back.†said Duke.
The tournaments will benefit several humanitarian organizations and raise awareness around their causes. Some of the beneficiaries include San Antonio Aids Foundation, Road 2 Recovery, Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, and the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The Inaugural Second Sundays took place at 13:00 ET on March 14th. Proceeds are donated directly to the San Antonio Aids Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to help preventing HIV through education, counseling, and testing and committed to providing medical care and social services to those with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Players who participate in the promotional event, but don't finish in the money, will get entries to a special freeroll held the following day for a chance at another $1,025 in tournament entries. Anyone who finishes in the top five spots in the freeroll will be awarded a seat in the following Sunday's $200,000 Guaranteed Tournament on UB Poker.
“This is not about individuals each making large donations. It’s about a large number of people collectively donating small amounts of money in order to make a difference. UB is a global community. Its members have been very generous and supportive of charitable efforts in the past. This grassroots movement could mobilize more people to join our community in order to effectively make a difference†added Duke.
