Poker Walk nets $ 13,000 for charities!
The Poker Walk is organized by the Zonta Club of Miami Lakes. It took place on April 26 and it raised $ 13,000. This money is going to be divided between C.H.A.R.L.E.E. and Casa Valentina.
C.H.A.R.L.E.E. is a foster care agency serving abandoned and neglected children in the Miami-Dade County area. Casa Valentina cares for young women who are moving out from foster care but do not have the means to be independent.
The Poker Walk is a fun, annual event. Attendees draw poker hands by walking to various homes at Loch Lomond, Miami Lakes. In addition to playing the poker game there's good food, drinks, games, door prices and the opportunity to socialize with neighbors and friends . This year the grand price for the winning poker hand was $ 500.
Zonta Club of Miami Lakes plans to continue hosting the Poker Walk event in the coming years, and we know next year is going to be even better!
Congratulations to all Zontians who directly or indirectly contributed to the success of this event!
