Last year, YouthFriends held its first major fundraiser, Ante Up! for YouthFriends (a charity Texas Hold'em Tournament). Nearly $30,000 was raised to support the YouthFriends effort.
Grand prize winner Michael Malish was awarded an entry into the Worlds Series of Poker Championship in Las Vegas (a $1,500 entry value plus airfare for one).
Special thanks to World Series of Poker Champions Blair and Grant Hinkle (hosts), Kevin Caponecchi and Kelly Lambert (event co-chairs), event attendees and sponsors.
