We’ve been getting the regular newsletter “Gameside News & Views” from a Michigan poker promotion company called UMichiganPoker LLC UMichiganPoker.com.

The articles are very informative about the Michigan poker scene, and I encourage anyone out there involved with a nonprofit organization to take a look. Running Hold Em events (each qualifying organization is entitled to up to 4 licenses per year)is a great way to raise substantial funds for your nonprofit.

A nonprofit that is already running a bingo should also consider hosting a Hold Em night on occasion. A bingo probably already has bingo workers who can help work the event, and probably even has some potential poker players amongst their bingo players.

For information on setting up a Hold Em event, see Gameside News & Views 4-part series “How to Host a Holdem Fundraiser” beginning with their November, 2007 newsletter Gameside News & Views Archives
