The biggest names in egaming will gather together for a charity poker dinner next month in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital.
New Ladbrokes chief executive Richard Glynn will chair the event, an exclusive poker dinner called ‘Raising the Stakes Inaugural Founders’ Evening’ in The Red Room at Les Ambassadeurs Club on Thursday 30 September 2010.
Well-known figures from the entertainment and sporting world will also attend the dinner to raise funds for the children’s hospital. The initiative aims to raise an initial £500,000 for a new high dependency bay in the Hospital’s Cardiac Critical Care Unit which will provide life-saving care for young patients.
Richard Glynn said: “Having stepped down recently after 10 years as a special trustee of this great institution, I am proud to be chairing the Raising the Stakes appeal and working with some outstanding individuals and companies from across the gambling and gaming industry.
“Great Ormond Street is a remarkable institution and I hope this new initiative will have a real impact on the lives of thousands of children who are treated at the hospital each year.”
