After weeks of preparation, Jenny Babka, Director of Philanthropy,and the lovely ladies of the Omicron chapter pulled off another successful poker tournament. The 8th annual Rockin’ Red Dress Poker Tournament and Silent Auction was held at the Stoney Creek Inn just before the KU Mizzou game on Saturday, February 4th. Phis wore red dresses and checked people into the tournament, ushered them to their tables, and ran the silent auction. Other ladies worked as dealers at each of the tables, and some wore black dresses and served as “lucky charms” mingling and providing luck to the participants throughout the afternoon.
Around 350 people attended the tournament and a total of $15,000 was raised. This money will go to The Alpha Phi Foundation which raises awareness for women’s cardiac care. Omicron would like to thank all participants and extend a special thank you to the gentleman of Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Gamma Sigma, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Upsilon, Farmhouse, Kappa Alpha Order, Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Gama Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Nu, Sigma Pi, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Theta Chi for your participation in the philanthropy event. The winner of the 2012 poker tournament and the grand prize trip to Las Vegas was a member of Delta Upsilon, congrats to him!
All the afternoon’s success would not have been possible without amazing sponsors, so another big thank you goes to the businesses who made donations.
