New York, NY, September 27, 2017 --(PR.com)-- On Thursday, October 19 at the Roger Smith Hotel in
New York City, Lend a Hand Uganda - USA (LAHU-USA) will host it's Third Annual Poker
Tournament to support its newest project, providing running water, healthy lunches and needed latrines
for LAHU-USA adopted schools in the districts of Uganda.

Players can join at multiple sponsorship levels, starting with the most basic: an individual poker buy-in
for $200 (which includes 5,000 in starting chips) and a VIP individual poker buy-in for $288 (which
includes pre-tournament VIP reception and 1,500 additional chips for 6,500 total in starting chips). The
top prize of the night includes a Cash Prize and a seat at the 2018 Poker4Life Lucky 13 Annual Charity
Poker Championship. There are other exciting prizes for participants, but the best reward will be in
knowing that anything contributed for this event will go towards providing clean water, latrine
construction materials, labor, and basic education to allow children to have safe and sanitary conditions
for learning.

The evening is shaping up to be a blast, with a great mix of sports stars, poker champs and people who
just like to have fun for a great cause, said Harriet Zaffoni, founder of LAHU-USA and CEO of Harkiss
Designs, a socially-conscious enterprise based in New York. We are looking forward to some
competitive poker playing—but if that's not your game, we'll also have blackjack and
entertainment. Ticket purchase can be found here: http://www.lahu-usa.org/events/pokernight

During the event, one African Photo Safari Adventure will be auctioned off. The winner will receive a
