Texas Hold ‘Em Players Take Part in 2011 Poker Tournament
The St. Louis Arc's 7th annual "Showdown for the St. Louis Arc" was another big success! 175 people put on their best poker faces as they took part in the friendly competition and raised funds for the St. Louis Arc. The event, held Friday, August 26, 2011 at the Hilton Frontenac St. Louis, raised more than $25,000 to benefit the agency’s programs for people with developmental disabilities.
Brothers Joe and Tom Auffenberg began the evening with a few words about what the Arc has meant to their family over the years. KMOX talk show host Mark Reardon was once again the Arc’s special guest emcee.
Trophies and bragging rights were awarded to the top three finishers: Third place went to Ross Hammond, Third place; Jayme Leedy, Second place; and Dan Wiseman, Tournament Champion. Many thanks to volunteers who pitched in, including St. Louis Arc employees and friends and to event sponsors Centene Charitable Foundation, Total Rewards Strategies and Anheuser-Busch.
