Proceeds Will Benefit the 1736 Family Crisis Center

Funnyman Brad Garrett is putting away his comedy act for a serious cause on April 20, when he will host a charity poker tournament at the Hollywood Park Casino to benefit the 1736 Family Crisis Center.

The tournament begins at 1 p.m., and the buy-in is $350 with $100 rebuys throughout the first hour. A number of Garrett’s celebrity friends are scheduled to attend, including Ray Romano, Mimi Rogers, Anthony Anderson, and Jennie Garth, as well as poker pro Cyndy Violette.

First place will receive $10,000 in cash, and second place will get a seat into the 2009 World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational. The top 10 places will receive cash or prizes.

The 1736 Family Crisis Center is dedicated to providing services to domestic violence victims and abandoned youths. The organization relies 100 percent on grants and donations. More information on the charity can be found here. For more information, or for sponsorship opportunities, call Tobi Quintiliani at (310) 543-9900 ext 210.
