Chris Bosh helps raise $500K at After-School All-Stars poker tourney

After-School All-Stars South Florida hosted its fifth annual charity poker tournament: All-In for All-Stars at the Lobster Bar Sea Grille in Miami Beach, with Haute Living as a proud media sponsor. The exclusive event, hosted by Wayne Boich, Mark Groussman, Sean Posner, and Michael Simkins along with two-time NBA champion and 11-time NBA All-Star Chris Bosh, raised over half a million dollars for at-risk youth throughout South Florida.

Founded in 1992 by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, After-School All-Stars South Florida is part of the leading national provider of year-round, school-based, tuition-free comprehensive after-school programs. The organization’s mission is to keep children safe and help them succeed in school and in life. Every school day, students in low-income communities have access to free programs that offer academic support, enrichment opportunities, and health and fitness activities. Over 91,000 children from 19 U.S. regions benefit Atlanta, Bay Area, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Newark, New York, North Texas, Orlando, Philadelphia, Puget Sound, San Antonio, South Florida, Tampa, Toledo, and Washington, D.C.

The event was emceed by Host of The Discovery Channel’s “Uncharted Waters” and 3-time world sailfish champion Peter Miller and was filled with live entertainment and dining for guests throughout the night. A live auction, a performance by the Miami Heat dancers, and live art by renowned money artist Arthur J. Williams Jr. were a few of the unforgettable entertainment experiences that unfolded throughout the duration of the night. Guests also enjoyed an evening full of hors d’oeuvres, dinner service, and access to an exclusive Padre Azul Tequila tasting room.

The winner of this year’s tournament was Loni Beth Harwood, who took home the grand prize consisting of five unique timepieces donated by 130-year-old Swiss luxury watchmaker Carl F. Bucherer. In second place and third place respectively were Matthew Papunen and Will McDonough.

The funds raised during this year’s tournament will benefit over 2,000 low-income students who participate in the tuition-free after-school programs brought to them by After-School All-Stars South Florida.
