Campbell For Kids - Charity Poker Tournament

Brian Campbell


This past January, Brian Campbell of the Chicago Blackhawks held the 2nd annual Campbell for Kids Texas Hold Em Poker Tournament in support of Autism Speaks as well as other fine charities.

(If this blog would have existed back then, I would have been all over it!)

This event was held at the Horseshoe Casino in Chicago and was full of Chicago celebrities and of course the entire Blackhawks team.  In a pretty cool twist, anyone that knocked out a Blackhawk got the jersey off his back, signed.  The event raised $160 000 for Campbell for Kids and in a classy move, the gentleman that won the event donated his first place money back to the charity.

If anyone is up for a January road trip in 2012...
