In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, ACR Poker hosted its third annual online charity tournament on Wednesday, October 16th, raising $20,000 total for the United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) with the support of its poker community.

This year’s $15,000 guaranteed event ($55 buy-in) saw 299 entrants come together for a great cause, resulting in a total prize pool of $14,950. In addition, ACR Poker ran a $5,000 guaranteed tournament with a $16.50 buy-in, attracting 339 entrants and finishing with a total prize pool of $5,085.

Renowned ACR Pros Katie Lindsay and Ebony Kenney, together with ACR Team Online member Svitlana ‘Svetarik’ Dryha hosted the charity tournament. They streamed the action live, sharing gameplay and insights into their experiences. During the stream, 30 viewers also won a $66 ticket to ACR Poker’s $1 Million GTD Venom Warmup.

“I’m so excited to once again raise money for such an incredible foundation. UBCF provides so much support and healing opportunities for people battling against cancer and I’m so grateful to everyone for being part of raising money for such an important cause,” said ACR Pro Katie Lindsay.

“We are so thankful to ACR Poker and its players for their generous donation, which will help support individuals and families affected by breast cancer. These funds will benefit our most sought-after program, the Individual Grant Program, providing customized support and assisting with a wide range of expenses, from medical bills and procedures to housing bills and insurance coverage,” shared Stephanie Mastroianni, UBCF Executive Director.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. UBCF encourages women and men to know their bodies and learn the self-breast exam to help recognize any changes. Those in need of assistance can get support through UBCF patient and family programs.

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
