Private Game for Benefit

[Dinero2005]

Where can I set up a private game for a particular cause that would allow me to have a portion of the pot go to a charity?

My best friend died last year and I am putting together a memorial foundation in his name. The charity will be a scholarship for local kids and donations to the local childeren's hospital.

I'll be having live tournaments locally that will take a percentage of the pot for the foundation. I'd like to do the same thing online if I could. I know PokerStars doesn't have anything like that but I hope someone does.

You should get in touch with Cali as she sets up all of the games for us. I will also try to get with her and see what she has to say or what she can do.

Here is my suggestion for a game..maybe someone can add to it or modify it as needed: I say we have a regular buy in and make it a bounty game. Either make it so the whole bounty (if the person wants to donate, can't see why not) or half of the bounty goes to the person organizing it. Whereas the half of the bounty would be sent to you so you can get it to the person(s) concerned. I am thinking of a $5.50 buy in with a $10 bounty.

What are your thought on this you want to add or modify?

That's a good idea. I guess it would have to be the honor system that way. Either that or everybody sends the organizer the $10 bounty and then distribute $5 as bounties as due.

I'm still local causes to focus on. We have a camp for kids with cancer called Camp Kemo that this friend and I parachuted into and my wife used to assist with that I like. There's also a children's home that I'd like to see us assist. It'd be nice to help both but I'm not sure yet how much support to expect.

I appreciate the help with this. Once everything is moving I may ask your assistance. I think it would add some credibility rather than somebody blindly sending me money.
