“Texas Hold ‘Em” Poker Tournament and Charity Benefit Goal Is to Raise $200,000 to Finish Construction of Tipa Tipa School in Haiti
Miami Beach, FL – December 14, 2009 – Liliane Stransky, the founder and President of the Step by Step Foundation, will host the inaugural “All In For Charity 2010” and “Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament and Charity Benefit” on Friday, January 29, 2010. Funds raised at poker tournament and charity evening will go to the Step By Step Foundation to finish the construction of a Tipa Tipa Elementary School in Lahaie, Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
Some of the world’s leading equestrian competitors including Chairperson Margie Engel, a US Olympic Grand Prix Show Jumping medalist and 10-time AGA Rider of the Year, top trainers and supporters will join together in the arena at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington, FL for an evening of action-packed competition. “This event is a wonderful way to bring the equestrian community together for a very important cause – and to have a lot of fun at the same time,” said Engel. “I’ll be bringing my equestrian colleagues to the tables for some competition outside the arena!” The festivities will be held in the Corporate Hospitality Tent alongside the main arena at from 6:30 pm to midnight.
“Completing the construction of our school is the priority,” stated Stransky. “Currently the children learn sitting outside on rocks, or wood, or in the heat or damp; under tarps or partially wooded huts. There is no access to running water, electricity or paved roads, and some children are forced to walk two hours each way to attend the nearest school. The opening of ‘Tipa Tipa,’ which translates in French Creole as ‘step by step,’ will mean that these youngsters will have a safe and secure school in their community. Parents will be able to participate in the education of their children, and the community will play an active role in the raising of their children. The people who live there lack access to safe water and health services. We are expanding our programs to encompass those and other development projects.” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=9728
