How would I go about holding a Charity Poker Event?

Question

I am trying to think of a good fundraising idea and thought of this one..

The event would take place at a college and would have a small entrance fee. The winner would win a small prize.. perhaps a college sweatshirt and a medal.

Should we provide players with food and drinks? What kind would be the best?
Would this be going against any laws?

I may add more questions later..

Any additional information is appreciated:)

Answer 1

Two sites that have all you need would be www.homepokergame.com and homepokertourny.com. Both of these sites have good useful information on how to run a home game and what to do and not to do, they have a free tournament clock and a good tips on how to set up your game, they also have listing of dealers looking for a game to deal. good luck..

Answer 2

i mean all you have to do is get some charitable organizations have a pkaer tourney. as look as the money is going to a good place a regular poker match is ok. or maybe u can get poker stars and hold the event at a community center. just make surew the money goes to a great place.
