St. Louis Arc’s Showdown Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament

St. Louis Arc’s 2015 Showdown Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament, considered the hip fundraiser of the year, gave participants a chance to make a real difference in the lives of people with developmental disabilities and families of the St. Louis Arc, Friday, November 13, 2015 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac Hotel.The event welcomed over 160 players and spectators, who betted and bluffed their way through the evening, enjoying appetizers, cocktails, a silent auction and friendly competition at the poker tables. At the end of the night, the tournament raised $30,000 with the proceeds benefitting St. Louis Arc’s programs.

Tommy Rosenthal walked away as the Champion for this year, followed by Wayde Stallmann, 2nd place. Ken Zehnder took home 3rd place.

St. Louis Arc would like to thanks the event sponsors, Centene Charitable Foundation, Anheuser-Busch, Dent Wizard, Hays, Johnny Londoff Chevrolet, Oculus, and Total Rewards Strategies along with the outstanding volunteers.

The Mission of the St. Louis Arc is empowering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families to lead better lives by providing a lifetime of high-quality services, family support and advocacy.

The organization works hard to offer the kind of individualized services that can really help make a difference to an adult… to a child… to a family. Services provided are designed to maximize choice and to support people as they build quality lives within the St. Louis community.
