Charity Event: Let’s Stand Together with PAF, and Raise Money for ‘Cancerfonden’
After a successful charity event for 'Cancerfonden' a couple week ago, it is time to set sail to Sweden, Finland, and Estonia. Players from these countries can join in on yet another great initiative, brought to you by Mauritz '50' Altikardes, this time with online poker operator Paf. Cancer research is one of the destinations for charities which goes to many of our hearts, so let's make this an epic turn out to support a fantastic charity event!
Operator: Paf Poker
The Festival Series team is in full preparation for our next live event at the King's Casino in Rozvadov, but sometimes it's time re-evaluate a moment and take a breath. Upcoming 1st of May, at 19:30 CET, a great initiative finds place on the poker client of one of our amazing online partners; Paf.
In collaboration with Paf, it's Mauritz Altikardes who takes the lead in this great initiative, collecting funds for 'Cancerfonden'. Players from the countries which are eligible to play on Paf, can all participate in this €5 tournament, going with a guaranteed prize pool of €1,500. What's the catch? There is none! Even better, there are multiple added prizes to the top of the ranks of this tournament.
Event Information:
- Tournament Name: Mau50!
- Date: May 1
- Time: 19:30 CET
- Buy-in: €5 Rebuy/Addon
- Operator: PAF
For this event, Paf will donate €5 for every unique tournament entry. And that's not the only gesture, players also have the chance on winning one of the top prizes in the likes of a Poker SM ticket, or a Destination Poker package. If you are unavailable to participate, there is also the option let your donation go through the Facebook Event of Mauritz Altikardes, or directly send your donation to 'Cancerfonden'.
*Of course, if we really want to leave our footprints here and if you are unable to play some good poker on May 1st, you can always register yourself and go on sit-out. It's perhaps the easiest way of supporting this good cause! Invite your friends, family, and neighbours, and let's all stand together!
Paf's Poker manager Ola Brandborn had the following to say about this great initiative: ''Giving money to charities is in our DNA: Paf was formed on Åland on 31 October 1966. Our founding associations were 'The Red Cross', 'Save The Children', a public health foundation and a children’s charity. When Mauritz approached us about this charity event where we will give €5 per participating player to cancer research, it was very easy to say; Yes, let's do it! I hope all players will see the value of playing this tournament where you can win seats to our own live event 'Destination Poker' (or if you are a Swedish player, a seat to Swedish Championships).
