A celebrity poker tournament will be held on Saturday, October 11 at the Microsoft headquarters in Playa Vista to raise funds for Wells Bring Hope.

Among the stars participating in the tournament are: Billy Burke (“Twilight”), Willie Garson (“Sex & The City”), Rex Linn (“CSI: Miami”), Kelly Hu (“X2”), Tony Denison (“Major Crimes”), Joseph Reitman (“The Perfect Storm”), Stephen Kramer Glickman (Big Time Rush), Rocky Carroll (“NCIS”) and Matthew Willig (“We’re The Millers”).

“Wells Bring Hope is honored to have been selected by Adrian Paul, and the PEACE Fund, as a beneficiary of this exciting event,” said Wells Bring Hope founder Barbara Goldberg. “We appreciate their support and Microsoft’s involvement in helping us bring safe drinking water and sanitation to rural villages in Niger, West Africa. The event promises to be highly entertaining and we urge everyone to come out and support it.”
