As you know from past blog's I started a Charitable Organiztion called the Fallen Heroes Fund. This Charity assists the families of Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters families who die in the Line Of Duty. The web site is now up and running and we are still improving it, however it has pictures and information from our past two tournaments.

Linda Johnson,Jan Fisher and Mark Seif have helped these tournaments get off the ground and we will be forever grateful for their support.

February 22nd 2009 is our third event at the Bicycle Casino and Linda and Jan will not be able to make it this year, because of a prior engagement. However Mark will be there and James Woods promises to attend as will several major professional players who will be at the tables for autographs,pictures and a few lessons.

Chris Bell and J.C.Tran are going to be there and they also will be wearing our new patch at this weeks WPT Event in Niagra Falls.

Some of the other pro's who support our event and will be there this year are,Jamie Gold,Chad Brown,Michael Gracz,Nam Le and Kelly Kim with several others wanting to attend schedules permitting.

Bluff Magazine who has supported us from Day 1, when no others would, are possibly going to be doing a story about the Fallen Heroes in their January issue. Eric Morris who is the owner and Matthew Parvis their superb editor have discussed the possibility with me recently.

If any of you would like a patch or a hat the pictures should be up on our web site within the week. In the meantime you can e-mail me at smdiamon@lasd.org if you want one and I can mail it to you.

We have helped four families this year with our fund and their responses have been heartbreaking. Tragedies such as these are not easy and by helping the families we try and bring comfort to them with our support and the promise to be there for them always.

I hope you can attend the upcoming event and have a great evening of Poker. There will be some outstanding prizes and for the $120.00 donation you get a long sleeve shirt,hat,commemorative card protector coin and a Buffet Dinner.

We have several months before this event,but time goes by so fast I am just getting the word out to all of you,so please mark your calendars..

As always thank you wisehand and checkout our site at fallenheroesla.org...

Take Care...Be Safe....
