About Poker4Life:
Poker4Life is a charitable organization designed to assist other charities in meeting their fund raising goals by hosting exciting, high profile poker tournaments. Poker enthusiasts Ethan Ruby and Jeremy Schwartz realized the positive impact that the growing popularity of poker could have on the charitable giving world, and founded Poker4Life in 2005. They developed the concept of the “charity of charities” and began hosting poker tournaments with their cutting edge ideas of harnessing the Positive Power of Poker.

Poker4Life has attracted many professional, celebrity, amateur poker players, and philanthropists with their exclusive charity poker tournaments. Over the last four years they raised over $500,000 for The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis, which has been their charity of choice.

Maximize the positive power of poker!
