Texas Hold ‘Em Players Take Part in 2010 Poker Tournament
The St. Louis Arc's 6th annual "Showdown for the St. Louis Arc" was another big success! 140 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 27, 2010 at the Hilton Frontenac St. Louis, raised thousands of dollars. Proceeds benefit the agency’s programs for people with developmental disabilities.
Brothers Richard and Jim Coughlin 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.
Prizes went to the table winners. Trophies and bragging rights were awarded to the top three finishers. Third place went to Aricka Gregerson, Joe Burris took home the second place trophy and Stephen Conway was our tournament champion.
Many volunteers pitched in for poker night, including St. Louis Arc employees and friends. We thank them for their time and talent.
The St. Louis Arc would also like to extend special thanks to sponsor Total Rewards Strategies in-kind donor Anheuser-Busch.
