THE DIVISION, RacerX and Bluff Magazine proudly announce the inaugural
annual Kevin Windham Supercross of Poker at Bally's Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Held in tandem with the Vegas Supercross Finals, partial
proceeds from the Kevin Windham Supercross of Poker celebrity studded
tournament will go to benefit injured riders through Road2Recovery; a non
profit foundation dedicated to helping AMA licensed motocross members with
financial assistance if they sustain career-ending injuries as well as
providing motivational, emotional, and spiritual support to these
individuals and their families. The Road 2 Recovery is recognized as a
501-c3 tax-deductible charitable foundation. For more information about the
Road 2 Recovery Foundation, please visit www.road2recovery.com.
"I'm proud to have Road2Recovery as our charity partner. I think I speak
for all my peers when I say how grateful we are to have an organization like
them supporting us. This tournament is about having fun in a competitive
environment, spending time with our fans and helping a very worthy cause,"
said Kevin Windham. "Furthermore, without the generous support of our
sponsors: CDPoker, SoBe/NoFear, Bluff and RacerX Magazine, none of this
would be possible," added Kevin.
"As a former racer, I know that a catastrophic injury can happen at any
time, which will mean months to years of recovery and physical rehab. I got
involved with Road2Recovery because of my love for motocross, and the
absolute necessity for a foundation that looks after the riders during their
time of need. We're grateful for Kevin's generosity and recognition of
Road2Recovery's goal by supporting us and all of his fellow riders," said
Jimmy Button, Director of Road2Recovery.
