I’ll Raise You a Million Challenge
Amidst the negatives of poker, there are also many great things that have come of it, and make me feel that much better about the game and its players, that it’s not all about making money and living in luxury and all that. The “I’ll Raise You a Million Challenge” is one of them.
In 2006 Phil Gordon and Rafe Furst started the “I’ll Raise You a Million Challenge”. Players, who sign up, pledge to donate one percent of their tournament winnings to the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation.
As of April 2007, the challenge has already reached its goal of one million dollars.
