Dennis Haskins, who played "Mr. Belding" of Bayside High School on the popular TV series SAVED BY THE BELL to play in the AlamoPoker.com 2-day event celebrity poker tournament to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Poker players have rallied behind numerous charities these days but one two-day, celebrity packed, charity tournament is doing it in spades. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has teamed up with the brand new $250 million Morongo Casino, Resort and Spa, to bring this kind-hearted action to life.
Running from December 8-9, this tournament is already set to draw some big name talent like Dennis Haskins who for 11 seasons played "Mr. Belding" of Bayside High School on the popular TV series SAVED BY THE BELL. He has also been seen in the Disney series GOOD MORNING MISS BLISS, THE IMAGE with Albert Finney and HIROSHIMA MAIDEN on PBS. Recent feature films include "18" and THE BOY WITH THE X-RAY EYES.
The tournament will be held in the casino's 12,500 square foot grand ballroom, an appropriate place as players show the poker moves that swing as smoothly as a ballroom dancer. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's director of special events, Michael Shumard, the organization is very thankful for this kind of support.
"We are excited about being part of the hottest game in America, Texas Hold'em poker. Charity poker tournaments are popular events and we're very happy to be one of the leading organizations benefiting from the generosity of businesses like AlamoPoker.com , Morongo Casino, and Fox Sports Net," he said.
The stunning new casino is a perfect location for the tournament and fundraising event. Located 16 miles west of Palm Springs, California, the west coast battle for charity supremacy is sure to feature some amazing sportsmanship as players bring the love instead of the heat. In addition to the tournament, two nights of entertainment are planned at the happening night club and beach area around the resort.
