Dealing for Duchenne Celebrity Poker Tournament Raises Over $200,000

This year’s “Dealing for Duchenne” Celebrity Poker Tournament was a smashing success! We had record numbers with over 450 people in attendance. The night’s event helped to raise more than $200,000 that will go towards UCLA DMD Research & Clinic. This is very big news for everyone affected by DMD here on the West coast and Southwest region.

Special thanks go to Amy & Chris Martin who chaired the event. Amy & Chris are experts at putting together an amazing team and making a perfect evening happen. Thank you to everyone involved!

The event will be held at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles starting at 6:30pm.

Because of the incredible support we’ve had in the last two years, the Center for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at UCLA is opening soon! Proceeds from this years event will help support this center.

As always, we continually support researchers who are actively seeking a cure to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).  Having a center here in Southern California will just be another stepping stone to not only treating families affected by DMD but also discovering a cure.
