Taking the Time to Make a Difference: Tackle Cancer Celebrity Poker Tournament

dyssey Concierge is a proud sponsor/partner with Tackle Cancer Foundation which was established in 2006 by Elijah Alexander, a veteran NFL player and his wife Kimberly.
“Tackle Cancer Foundation’s mission is to provide financial support to families who have children fighting all forms of pediatric cancer and those diagnosed with the adult on-set blood cancer, multiple myeloma.” (www.tacklecancerfoundation.org)

Since its inception, the organization has given over $400,000 via fundraising as well as supporting local families and hospitals in their hometown of Dallas, Texas. Although Elijah passed away in 2010, his memory lives on through a dedicated and generosity of the organization.
The spirit of giving continues as Kimberly Alexander, executive director, prepares to host a Celebrity Poker Tournament in March 2012 at the ghostbar in the W Hotel-Dallas. The proceeds from this event will go directly toward assisting the families of children who have been diagnosed with cancer and for adults battling with multiple myeloma.
