This weekend, poker players are invited to take part in a Celebrity Charity Tournament in Santa Monica, California that will be headlined by Hollywood actors Ted Danson, Cheryl Hines and Clark Gregg.
The event will take place on Dec. 2 at 12:30 p.m. local time and costs $1,200 to enter with the option for $500 re-buys. It will be hosted by Jerry Greenberg, Bruce Stern, Eliott Kessas and Jacob Zalewski.
Proceeds to the Celebrity Charity Tournament will go to the One Step Closer Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of those who suffer from cerebral palsy and other disabilities, and Geffen Playhouse, a nonprofit theater in Los Angeles.
Hollywood’s Andrea Savage will also be in attendance, as will “surprise guests.” The event is slated to take place at a “beautiful Santa Monica home” (the exact location will be given to those who purchase tickets) with “delicious food and (an) open bar included.”
Guest tickets are available for $600 and there are packages available for groups of four for $4,000 and groups of ten for $10,000.
