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.

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.
