A Non-Tournament-Players Package will be available for $130.  This package includes all of the above excluding entry into the tournament - a great option for non-poker-playing spouses and friends who want to join the fun and support the cause. 

NAA Charity Poker Event Structure

Poker Tournament Buy-in and Players Lounge:  We have created a charity poker event that will appeal to both the Autism community AND the poker community.  The Tournament will follow the structure of the Borgata daily tournament and feature a $100+$20 buy-in.  A matching $100 “buy-in” will go to NAA to win the fight against autism.  Approximately 10% of players will receive cash winnings according to the Borgata's daily tournament structure, with pay-outs determined by the final number of players.

A players’ lounge will be open only to our participants at the hottest night club in Atlantic City, MIXX (just down the hall from the Borgata poker room).  The lounge will be used for day-of-event sign-up, pre-tournament socializing, a party space for “early-outs” and an awards ceremony for the winners at the conclusion of the tournament.  It will also provide an opportunity for participants to learn more about the NAA.   The players lounge will feature:

• Event sign-up table

• NAA information booth

• Hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine included (cash bar available)

• Silent Auction table

• Presentation of cash awards to winners (any winners choosing to donate their winnings to NAA will be gratefully acknowledged and honored by the NAA)

• Live music by Witzend
