2009 Event Highlights
The second annual Texas Hold'Em event raised $60,000 in gross revenue with over 250 attendees. As a result, MOWC was able to provide 7,500 meals to low income seniors and disabled citizens. The evening included a live performance by jazz recording artist Ryan Cohan and gourmet cuising catered by Chicago Entertaining Company. Additionally, a professional casino host was on hand to run the tournament. Furthermore, the High-Roller section sold out within the first several weeks and was attended by some of Chicago's top real estate and financial executives.
