Raising the stakes “For Our Kids”

By Brooke Holmquist

Calling all card players!! Whether you know the difference between your “Fish Hooks,” and your “Jackson Fives,” or you just like to play poker to pass the time, the Aptos Sports Foundation has the game of the century you simply cannot miss!

Saturday, November 14 the ASF Poker Tournament is back and this year the game is at Seascape Golf Club.

Registration starts at 6 p.m. and play begins at 6:30 p.m. with plenty of food and a first-class drink service to wet your whistle.

The Buy-In has been reduced this year to $95, but remember that’s a small price to pay to be a part of developing future community leaders through quality athletics in Aptos.

While it is about fun and games, there is a bigger mission at play and now the Foundation has made it possible for you to be a part of that by creating a community asset through charitable giving, not just in the immediate but for generations to come. The Poker Tournament is a way to learn more about that opportunity as well.

You will also get to hear some exciting updates on current and future projects the Foundation is working on right now.

All the proceeds of this event will go directly to the Aptos Sports Foundation to help our efforts to increase youth participation in sports by improving and providing quality athletic programs at Aptos High School and its feeder schools.

Our success is based on the community stepping up to the plate, or in this case the card table, to support those who need it the most, our kids.
