PokerStars to hold Lads Night In
19 Sep 2016
Lads Night In is calling on men and women of all ages to organize an evening in, play cards, and have a laugh while taking the opportunity to raise money and awareness for a great cause. Following on from the success of last year's at-home events and funds raised, where over 5,400 people took part and £114,000 was donated, we're asking for poker fans to spread the word, sign up and join in.
A special Lads Night In pack, including a deck of cards, a dealer button and the rules of poker for anyone unfamiliar of them, will be sent to those who register. To sign up and run a Lads Night In people can visit the Prostate Cancer U.K. website.
Sue Hammett, Head of Corporate Giving at Rational Group said: "PokerStars are delighted to once again be partnering with Prostate Cancer U.K. for the second annual Lads Night In. One man dies every hour in the U.K. from this deadly disease and PokerStars want to help change that. So please, put the date in your diary, get your friends round and get ready to hold a Lads Night In to remember."
Funds raised across the country will go towards ground-breaking research that could lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatments, as well as much-needed support services.
James Beeby, Director of Fundraising at Prostate Cancer U.K. said: "We're proud to be partnering with PokerStars for the second year running. Our campaign is all about reaching men and inspiring them to be aware of their health. Through working with PokerStars, and encouraging as many people as possible to host a Lads Night In, we can together help stop prostate cancer being a killer once and for all.'
