Poker's ever-growing appeal to American college students will be enhanced by a new "Poker Tour". campuses across the USA. Fraternities and sororities will be hosting each tour stop featuring a charity No-Limit Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournament where students and friends can compete for cash prizes while supporting worthy charities. The inaugural event will be hosted at the University of California, Los Angeles on October 16th, 2004.

Top finishers out of the 250 competitors at each event will receive prize money. Top prizes are $100,000 in scholarship prize money; 10 all-expense-paid trips to Cancun, Mexico during Spring Break and the chance to raise money for their favourite charity.
