Poker
has quickly become an industry that has generated billions
of dollars and the pop culture phenomenon with the most
impressive rate of growth that America has ever witnessed.
And is precisely because of this progressive hip ethos,
that HIGHROLLER Magazine is promoting a Texas
Hold ‘Em Poker tournament this Saturday, December
3rd at 4:15PM at the famed Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens,
CA., to raise money for the production of a feature film
that promotes Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s (MADD)
message.
HIGHROLLER Magazine will be supporting this cause by prominently
sponsoring the tournament and offering press coverage to
be published on its website http://www.highrollerlife.com.

The tournament is expected to attract over 400 participants.
The Bicycle Casino will be waiving the $30.00 entry fee to any
player that brings an unwrapped “Toys For Tots” gift
valued at ten dollars ($10) or more. The buy-in for this event
is $200, with $20 from every entry and re-buy going to the MADD
supported cause. The prize pool for this event is expected to
go over $100,000.
The funds raised will be used to produce a film that will become
part of MADD’s School Outreach Program. “Exit 131”
was written by filmmaker Kyle Gates Pagach of Exit 131 Productions
as part of his “Education through Entertainment” initiative.
The organization will use the film as a catalyst for teenagers
and adults to create dialogue focusing on the negative effects
of underage drinking and impaired driving.
”This will be a tremendous opportunity to support a great
initiative with the mission of educating teenagers on the serious
topic of underage drinking and drunk driving” said Ryan
Jacobs, COO of HIGHROLLER Media. He continued saying: “America
is a great nation that has given us all great opportunities to
grow as individuals and business people. We believe it is important
that we look after our most precious asset: the nation’s
youth; and we hope to get that message across with our support
of MADD and the sponsoring of events such as this one.”
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a non-profit, grass roots
organization dedicated to stopping drunk driving & preventing
underage drinking through education.
