First leg of “Go
All N Tour” features charity poker tournaments
hosted at fraternities and sororities throughout
the United States.
Sacramento, CA - October 5, 2004 -- Niche apparel
company All N Poker announces the launch of its
“Go All N Tour” of college campuses across
America. Fraternities and sororities will be
hosting each tour stop featuring a charity
No-Limit Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournament where
students and friends can compete for cash prizes
while supporting worthy charities. The inaugural
event will be hosted at the University of
California, Los Angeles on October 16th, 2004 and
is being presented by College Poker Championship™.
Each stop on the “Go All N Tour” will feature a
weeklong series of events on campus including live
band performances and themed bar nights. “The
framework of each event is perfect,” said All N
Poker CEO and UCLA alumnus William Hunt. “We make
it logistically easy for host organizations to put
on the event, while they get positive exposure and
an opportunity to support a charity. We look
forward to introducing our brand within a targeted
demographic throughout the country,” Hunt added.
Participants in the tournaments will have
additional motivation besides supporting charity
and the thrill of competition. Top finishers out
of the 250 competitors at each event will receive
prize money. Win or lose, all university students
in America can still register and play in the 2nd
Annual College Poker Championship™. Participation
is free at www.collegepokerchampionship.com and
provides college students with the opportunity to
play their hands at the hottest game around and
vie for over $100,000 in scholarship prize money;
10 all-expense-paid trips to Cancun, Mexico during
Spring Break and the chance to raise money for
their favorite charity.
“From fraternity houses to dorm rooms, colleges
everywhere have a fine poker-playing tradition. It
seems natural to hold a poker tournament where
students from all colleges can come together and
test their skills, while competing for huge
scholarship awards,” explains Lou Krieger,
renowned professional poker player and
best-selling author. “College Poker ChampionshipTM
gives any college student the chance to be a
champion and walk away with thousands of dollars!"
Additional tour sponsorships are still available
for companies interested in tapping the college
market. “The brand is fun and in your face. You
need a certain mindset to wear apparel that says
‘DOMINATE THE TABLE’ in bold letters,” states All
N Poker’s Chief Financial Officer Ryan Maloney.
“We’re looking to partner with companies that
realize the value of associating their brand with
No-Limit Texas Hold ‘Em in the college market.
About All N Poker
All N Poker is the exclusive provider of clothing
for fans of No-Limit Texas HoldEm poker. The
company was founded by two 24 year-old friends who
have been playing Texas HoldEm since high school.
They were excited by all the attention the sport
received after Chris Monkeymaker won the 2003
World Series of Poker. Figuring that it was time
for Texas Hold ‘Em players to have a brand of
their own, they launched All N Poker, “The ONLY
Name in No-Limit Texas HoldEm gear.” The complete
“Go All N Tour” schedule is available on the Web
at www.allnpoker.com
