Poker Players Alliance

excerpt:

Last night in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin addressed members of the party in the Xcel Energy Center. Across town, the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) and American Gaming Association (AGA) held a fundraiser to benefit the Paralyzed Veterans of America. At the end of the night, the city of Minneapolis was buzzing about Palin’s acclaimed speech as well as the play of Adam Radman, who won the charity poker tournament. Radman serves as the Programs and Communications Manager for the Americans for Tax Reform.

Over 100 players were in attendance for the joint PPA and AGA tournament, which gave all of its proceeds to the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). In fact, the two organizations raised over $70,000 for the PVA at last night’s event. In a similar poker tournament held in Denver last week during the Democratic National Convention, over $60,000 was raised for the PVA.
