Poker Tournament Was Worth the Gamble

We are proud to announce that TEAM J.LO has now raised $5413 that will be donated to the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation. We reached our goal because of so many people, most recently due to the efforts of Bill and Jodi Orcutt. They were the brains and hardwork behind the 1st Annual NL Hold 'Em Ovarian Cancer Benefit Tournament. We'd also like to thank the 26 gentlemen who came out to support our cause and played some great poker.

Additionally, there were several outside contributors who were unable to attend, but donated both money and door prizes for the event. Their names are:
John Criscuolo
Bill Gold
Mike Romace
Frank Costa
Catherine Mitelo
Bob Sperling
Barbara Curry
Keith Wentura
As a result of Bill and Jodi's efforts, we walked away with $895 which put us as our current total of $5413. When I was walking out of the poker game today (after I got my butt handed to me), I couldn't thank Bill enough for what he had done. He simply replied, "Hey, it's family". It's that kind of compassion and selflessness that made this achievement possible.
We don't have to end this article with a "pep talk" or any prolific quote that will hopefully stur people to donate to our cause. Simply all we can say is THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Everyone, THANK YOU!!! See you in 28 days at the race!!!
Best,
TEAM J.LO
