Chicago Gateway Green’s wildly popular annual Texas Hold’Em Poker Tournament and Casino Night combines great entertainment, refreshments, and friendly competition.
Gaming for Green raises funds for Chicago Gateway Green’s Tree Partnership Program, which is a large-scale volunteer tree planting initiative transforming vacant land across Chicago’s neighborhoods into tree-filled green spaces, improving Chicago’s neighborhoods’ environmental health, beauty, and livability.
This year's event will be emcee'd by Roe Conn & Richard Roeper of The Roe & Roeper Show on WLS 890AM who will bring a fun atmosphere to a friendly poker competition with the involvement of numerous sponsors and supporters.
Don't Miss the McGrath Lexus $30,000 Challenge! McGrath Lexus of Chicago along with IMPACT365 have created an amazing contest that will take place at the event. The top 5 poker chip leaders after the 4th blind level will all have a chance to win $30,000. The 5 players with the most chips will head to the stage, pick 5 random envelopes numbered 1 to 52 (representing the 52 cards in a deck) and IF one of the 5 players ends up with a "four-of-a-kind" poker hand or better, they will win the cash!
Additional Gaming: Poker not your thing? Event guests can enjoy a variety of other charitable gaming. Try your luck and skill at roulette, craps, and blackjack.
Additional Entertainment, Fine Food & Cocktails: No evening would be complete without the fabulous music, food, and beverage. Enjoy live music on the outdoor patio while sipping complimentary cocktails and smoking cigars if you favor them. Delight in Galleria Marchetti's famous Italian specialties with your ticket.

Celebrity Interview: Richard Roeper, Co-Host of The Roe & Roeper Show on WLS 890AM
Q:
What is your favorite thing about
Chicago?
“My favorite thing about Chicago? The people!
This really is the biggest small town, or the smallest big city, in the world.
I've lived here virtually my entire life, and I always feel a sense of pride
when visitors talk about the quality, diversity and overall friendliness of the
people of Chicago.”
Q:
Why is Chicago Gateway Green an
important part of Chicago?
“Chicago Gateway Green is a vital component of
the city's personality. First impressions always count -- and Chicago almost
always makes a great first impression, thanks in large part to the ongoing
efforts of Chicago Gateway Green. Whether it's families coming in from the
suburbs, conventioneers or visitors from halfway across the globe, they're
always talking about how beautiful and green the city looks. It's a source of
great pride for our city!”
**You

July 12th emceeing Chicago Gateway Green’s 7th annual Gaming for Green Poker Tournament
& Casino Night at Galleria Marchetti
