The Tug McGraw Foundation, a California-based organization that seeks to improve the live-style of brain tumor survivors, recently announced that it was gathering a team of famous actors and sportsmen to participate in a Texas Hold' em poker game at the Foundation's annual event, "An Evening with Tim McGraw & Friends: Honoring Those Who Make a Difference." The event is scheduled to take place on November 3rd, 2006, at The Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The participants will be competing for a trip to Las Vegas and a seat at the highly prestigious World Series of Poker. The list of celebrity poker players who are expected to attend the event includes many prominent names, such as Jim McMahon, an ex-Chicago Bear Super Bowl winning quarterback. Commenting on the future event, McMahon said, "I'm happy to raise funds for research that helps brain tumor patients live better."
Tim McGraw, the Grammy-winning country singer whose father, Tug McGraw, founded the organization in 2003, was quoted as saying, "This is shaping up to be a very special evening, one that will both entertain and inspire people. [...] In addition to trying their hand at poker, guests will enjoy a live stage show, live and silent auctions, and an awards ceremony honoring people who have helped to improve the quality of life for brain tumor patients and their families."
