Donations & Celebrations

MacDonald & Wass

After the last hand is played and Bob Wass (Wayside, NJ) wins the 4th Put a Bad Beat on Hunger charity poker tournament, there are lots of hugs, handshakes and gratitude.

Roberta MacDonald, Cabot Senior Vice President of Marketing presents Wass his $3,500 voucher to play in the WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship event in September.

"This was another great tournament," says MacDonald, who is proud that she made it to the final three tables.  "We're glad to find a way to engage poker players with the Foodbank. And that we connect people who put a lot of money on the table with those who are very hungry."

The second presentation is a check for $5,760 to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the beneficiary of the tournament.

"This tournament helps us feed the hungry, it truly does," says Margie Barham, Executive Director of the Southern Branch of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.  She adds that for every $1 donated can be worth up to $10 worth of food for those who need it.

"In addition to the money we raised, you get exposure and you never know where that can lead. More awareness, donations, volunteers, it all matters."

The FoodBank thanks Cabot, Borgata and all the players who participated in this year's tournament.
