Pocono Poker Tournament Raises Nearly $58,000 for Two Charities

The Fourth Annual Pocono Poker Tournament took place at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Thursday, July 30. The charity event, which benefitted both The NASCAR Foundation and the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation, equally, raised over $57,484. This is the highest-grossing Pocono Poker Tournament to date.

“NASCAR Foundation events, such as the Pocono Poker Tournament, said The NASCAR Foundation’s Executive Director, Lorene King, “showcase how the synergy of NASCAR partners, celebrities and fans can make a huge impact in the lives of children. We appreciate the support of Pocono Raceway and Mohegan Sun Pocono and look forward to using funds raised to bring technology to local middle schools in 2016.”

“We want to thank all the participants in last night’s Pocono Poker Tournament,” said Pocono Raceway President/CEO, Brandon Igdalsky. “We were blown away by the number of attendees, VIP players and by how much money was raised for both The NASCAR Foundation and the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation. Additionally, a big thanks to Mohegan Sun Pocono for hosting an amazing event and for all their support these last four years. I cannot wait to start planning next year’s event!”
