PokerStars Sponsors Third Chad Brown Memorial Tournament
- Updated: October 26, 2016
PokerStars will hold and sponsor the third annual Chad Brown Memorial Charity Poker Tournament during its debut festival in New Jersey Nov. 3.
“I’m really happy to be having the event in Atlantic City this year,” said Jennifer Winter, event coordinator and longtime friend of Brown’s, in a press release from PokerStars. “It’s the first opportunity for Chad’s East Coast friends who don’t play in the WSOP to pay their respects. I’m a coordinator by trade, so planning these events seems like the natural thing to do to help honor Chad’s memory. Working with PokerStars and being a part of their inaugural festival is something that would bring a smile to his face.”
Held on Nov. 3 at the Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City and hosted by Team PokerStars pro Daniel Negreanu, this tournament will help to raise money for the T.J. Martell Foundation for Leukemia, Cancer and AIDS Research (which also has funding set aside for sarcoma cancer research).
“Chad was a close friend to me and many other people in the poker community and I’m delighted to be hosting this tournament in Chad’s honor,” said Negreanu in a press release. “It’s great to see different people, and indeed different poker companies, from across the industry come together to raise money for a great cause.”
