This year the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers Association decided to put on their
first annual Charity Casino Night & Texas Hold'Em Tournament.
The event was held on Sunday June 1, 2014 at 5:30 pm at the Hotel Casa
Del Mar in Santa Monica. At this five star hotel all who attended were
able to enjoy an evening full of fun entertainment and all of the proceeds
went to charity for a good cause.
The event was put on by the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers' Charities which
is a non-profit organization that is backed and funded by numerous attorneys
throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The organization uses
funds to aid the homeless, educate children, assist battered woman and
to give back to those in financial need.
The grand prize for the poker tournament included 12 tickets for the winner to spend a night in a Staples Center Suite complete with 4 VIP parking passes. The tickets were to see a Laker Game during the 2014-2015 season. Prizes were also provided for the top nine poker players of the evening and there was a raffle for the casino table game winners of the evening.
The poker games for the tournament included black jack, roulette, craps and Texas Hold'em. To top it all off there was a hired DJ for the evening and an open dance floor. For additional entertainment they also provided fortune tellers, tarot card readers and some magicians to perform for those attending.
Overall the evening was a huge success. You can see by the pictures that our firm's partners Earl Schurmer and Lauren Wood had a fantastic time at the charity casino night.
