Thank you to everyone who attended or supported this year’s ACLD Foundation Poker for a Purpose event on July 13 at the Heritage Club at Bethpage to benefit ACLD’s Vacation Fund for ACLD Residents who are unable to afford to go on vacation.

This 3rd annual fundraiser was once again a success thanks to our poker players, casino players, sponsors, donors, and our Honoree Bob Gebbia, Co-Owner of @palmersamericangrille in Farmingdale. Please enjoy the video recap of the event.

A special thanks also goes out to Benjamin Cooper, Committee Chair of the event, Steven Person, Co-Chair, the entire Committee as a whole, Dawn Jessica Strain of DJS Events for producing the event, and @concierge_photography_ny for taking all of the amazing photos.
