For Broke Educational Foundation still has spots available to
play at its first ever Go For Broke Poker Tournament to be held
Sunday, April 17, 2005 at the Holiday Inn Torrance from 12 - 6

Limit Texas Hold ‘Em that has fast become today’s

Organized by volunteers, the Go For Broke Poker Tournament is
being held to raise funds to support the Go For Broke Educational
Foundation’s education initiatives on the Japanese American
veterans who served America during World War II.
The men who served in the 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Regimental
Combat Team and Military Intelligence Service represent a model
American story. More than 16,000 brave soldiers volunteered to
fight in a segregated unit while their families, citizens of this
country, were forced to live in U.S. concentration camps. Their
contributions led them to become the most decorated unit in U.S.
military history for its size and length of service, and serves
as a reminder that no American should be deprived of their rights
to citizenship.
Prize donations and sponsorships are also welcome. The Go For
Broke Educational Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
