“We are delighted to bring back the ever-popular PAL Poker Tournament. It is one of most well-attended fundraisers each year and we missed seeing everyone’s smiling faces around the card table – all in the name of raising much needed funds for Santa Monica Youth,” says Eula Fritz, Director at Santa Monica Police Activities League. “The pots vary by hand, but one sure bet is that everyone is a winner with the PAL Poker Tournament.”

The tournament will take place in the historic Moose Lodge at 1600 Ocean Park Boulevard. There’s something for everyone! Players can enter the tournament with a $150 admission fee that includes dinner, one drink ticket and two drawing tickets while non-players can enjoy the festivities with a $50 entry fee that also includes dinner, one drink and a drawing ticket. However, all attendees must be 21 and up in order to join. To RSVP or for more information about the event, please visit Eventbrite or call 310-458-8988.

A variety of prizes will be awarded along with delicious dinner options throughout the night as well as desserts and drinks!
