Gaming for Green 2012

Training for the World Series of Poker? Let’s see what you’ve got! Chicago Gateway Green’s wildly popular annual Texas Hold’Em Poker Tournament and Casino Night combines great entertainment, refreshments, and friendly competition. Gaming for Green, held at Galleria Marchetti, raises funds for Chicago Gateway Green’s Tree Partnership Program, which is a large-scale volunteer tree planting initiative transforming vacant land across Chicago’s neighborhoods into tree-filled green spaces, improving Chicago’s neighborhoods’ environmental health, beauty, and livability. Last year’s event, emcee’d by ESPN’s Carmen, Jurko and Harry, brought a fun atmosphere to a friendly poker competition with the involvement of numerous sponsors and supporters. Those who don’t opt for poker can try their luck at other casino games during the event, including roulette, craps and blackjack. Players and spectators will enjoy Galleria Marchetti’s famous Italian specialties and complementary beverages. Stay tuned for registration...
