Texas Hold’em Fundraiser!

 The “Angles Without Faces Foundation” organized their first annual Texas Hold’em Fundraiser and the Elks Lodge on Edgewood Avenue in Smithtown to benefit two local families who have recently experienced tragic loss and hardship as a result of an auto accident.

 Event organizers Joe Mango and Mark Bailey explained how the event came together; “We wanted to do something different for our Thanksgiving fundraiser. That is when Paul Snead stepped up! Paul is a 2008 ESPN World Series of Poker Finalist and he enthusiastically agreed to be our special quest. "If it wasn't for Paul, I don't think we would have been successful. He gave his time, his money and his expertise.”

Hopefully each year this event will grow and help us to help our community, one person at a time. That is the mission of the Angels Without Faces Organization.”

 Poker Lesson #1: If someone says that they have never played before, be prepared to lose your chips to them; explained Mark Bailey pointing in the direction of a grinning Joe Mango, pictured above. Mark went on to say that the event was a wonderful success and that it’s because of all the hard work of the volunteers and sponsors.

“The Elks Lodge, is a wonderful venue, it’s a modern building, plenty of parking, easy to get to and the open floor plan gave us plenty of options to setup our tournament.” Mr. Bailey mentioned. “What we didn’t expect to receive donations from them! When the members of the Elks Lodge stopped by and gave us several quite generous donations…well just another reminder that we live in the best community on earth.”
