Bang the Gavel to Support Yasiel Puig Charity Poker Tournament

“We are honored to have been selected to provide our expert auctioneering services for the Poker Tournament,” says a spokesperson for the Westlake Village, California-based firm. “The Wild Horse Children’s Foundation does great work, and we support their efforts with innovative fundraising opportunities.”

The event will be held at the Stadium Club of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Kicking off at 6:00 p.m. for general admission, the event, now in its second year, will have L.A. Dodgers star outfielder Yasiel Puig joined by a star-studded celebrity guest list, including entertainment personalities, sporting figures, and Dodgers teammates. The red carpet event supports the non-profit charity established by Puig to provide opportunities for underserved communities in the greater Los Angeles area. The event will include a VIP dinner program, entertainment, the auction events, and the poker tournament itself. A hosted bar will be available for attendees, and catered hors d’oeuvres will be served throughout the charity event.

Funds raised at the event, including auction proceeds, will go toward the refurbishment of sports fields and the creation of a community activity center at Pioneer Park in partnership with the City of San Fernando, California. The vision for the community center is to provide access to social, health/lifestyle and meal programs for children. Growing up in his native Cuba, Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig struggled to eat proper meals and to have suitable equipment to play baseball. In 2016, he committed himself to providing opportunities for underserved youth, especially in sports programs and in healthy, energy-sustaining meal offerings. His Wild Horse Children’s Foundation (Federal Tax ID: 81-4506011) is recognized by the IRS with federal tax-exempt status as a public charity under Section 501(c)(3).
