		The Dream Dealers are celebrating their 7th year of being the "hottest deal in town" with a party, charity poker touranment, and casino night.	The Dream Dealers first event hosted by retired NBA player Cedric Ceballos was at the DC Ranch Homestead Community Center in the summer of 2008.

		"We really wanted to find a way to reward our players, business partners, and loyal philanthropic organizations. This was the best way to incorporate all of them into one big event!" says Dream Dealers founder Jeff Geller.

		The Dream Dealers helped raise over a million dollars in the past 12 months. At some events, the casino gaming or poker was the main attraction for raising funds. At other events, the Dream Dealers were providing first class entertainment before a high-value live auction or featured headliner performed. Either way, the Dream Dealers were invited to participate because of their top-of-the-line equipment and beautiful, yet skilled dealers.

		Since we have helped so many charities, it would be very difficult to choose only one to benefit from this event. We have helped raise money for philanthropic groups which educate; fund medical research; prevent diseases; comfort the unfortunate; address the environment; and help our active duty military personnel.

		We are inviting all of our poker players to compete and choose from our list of 50+ philanthropic partners from the past 12 months.
			The Dream Dealers celebrated their 5 Year Anniversary at the Days Hotel in 2013.
		We encourage all of our charity partners to send poker players to win you that $5,000 prize for your organization!

		Registration for poker opens at noon in the banquet room of the newly remodled Days Hotel of Old Town Scottsdale. The no limit Texas Hold'em touranment begins at 1pm. Blind levels are 30 minutes per round and gradually increase. It is expected to be an 8-10 hour tournament.

		There will be a poolside Luau from 5-10pm and casino gaming in the Tesoro Lounge from 7-10pm. Try your luck and skills at Blackjack, Craps, and Roulette. You can exchange every $500 in chips for one raffle ticket to win great prizes like big screen TVs, gift cards, and vacations.

		Besides the charity designated by the winner, 100% of all profit from this event will be donated to Every Kid Counts.
