Poker Community Rallies for Australian Bushfire Appeal
The entire world has been shocked and stunned at the images of vast swathes of Australia on fire as the country battles some of the worst bushfires in its history.
With the fires coinciding with the holding of the 2020 Aussie Millions, Crown Resorts have been helping to raise money for those affected, promising to match any staff donations to bushfire relief funds. They have also promised to donate a bottle of water for every bottle of water sold on its premises.
Australian Poker Hall of Fame member Lynn Gilmartin has also been raising money, with almost A$100,000 raised so far for the Poker Players for Australian Wildlife fundraiser. Click here if you wish to donate.
