On Sunday, March 25, TeamTAG held it's 2nd Annual Charity Poker Tournament raising money for Operation Smile. The event brought together a group of motivated, young entrepreneurs with a passion to give back to the community.
The rain didn't stop us, we moved the tournament indoors!
With each player donating $20 to buy in, half the pot was donated to Operation Smile. While additional funds were raised selling bahn mi sandwiches to the hungry poker players prepared by Team TAG's very own Helen Davidov. Over $250 was raised to help children born with facial deformities, such as cleft lip and cleft palates, receive safe and effective reconstructive surgery.
"It's cool because you get to help the children out, make money, eat food, and show everyone you are the #1 poker player in the office," says winner, Mac Bunnag.
Aykut Eren doesn't look too happy for winner, Mac Bunnag.
The event was a huge success thanks to then planning and preparation of event organizer, Mac Bunnag. Big thanks to Helen Davidov and her family who graciously let TeamTAG use her home and cooked delicious Vietnamese sandwiches. Thank you also to Manilynn Disuanco who did a fantastic job of bookkeeping and keeping track of all the financials.
All of this would not have been possible if it wasn't for the TeamTaggers who spent their time off on a Sunday to give back to the children. TeamTAG is constantly involved in the community and we look forward to the next awesome philanthropic event these studs put on!
