Departure Lounge’s Virtual Food Drive & Charity Poker Night

The annual Virtual Food Drive Fundraiser has now launched and is being organized by Departure Lounge.

Last year’s record-breaking drive raised over $7,500 for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, and this year’s goal is to end 2022 with a minimum raise of $2023. The Charity Poker Night will be free-to-play and open to all by any donation to the fundraiser. Details about registering for the live poker night will be announced soon (date TBD but likely early 2023) and it will be open to both new players and pros alike!

CALL FOR PRIZE DONATIONS and/or SPONSORS: Any prizes, large or small, will be gratefully accepted for the charity poker event. If you have something to donate, please contact Dennis Chenard. Companies making an online donation of $500 or more to the food drive will have a table named after them, their logo added to the campaign banner, and other social mentions.
