WHAT:
Best Bet for the Cure: Charity Poker No Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament underwritten by pulver.com in association with Fall VON. The proceeds from this event will benefit The Barton Center for Diabetes Education, Inc. The Barton Center will donate a portion of its proceeds to the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation.
DRI is an international center dedicated exclusively to the cure and treatment of diabetes. The result of parents of children with diabetes who banded together more than twenty-five years ago to focus scientific attention on this disease, the DRI today stands as a world leader in innovative cure-related research.
The Barton Center for Diabetes Education is the largest, independent camping and educational program in the country dedicated to children who live with diabetes and the people who care for them. Some 1,500 children and their families participate in our programs annually, including the Clara Barton resident camp, Adventure Programs, Family Programs, and Day Camps in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
