Bernard Lee, professional poker player, brought joy of the Christmas season to more than 75 children in the Lawrence, Mass, by giving them holiday packages as the part of The Full House Charity Program on December 18th. Lee’s charity program, launched in 2011, gives $10,000 annually to organizations in New England which help kids in need. It is the fourth year in the row that Bernard Lee is donating holiday packages and making holidays the best part of the year for many children all over the New England. Chill’s Grill, Bar Restaurants and Eastern Poker Tour were co-sponsors for this holiday charity action.

There are few greater joys in life than seeing children smile during the holiday season. I created the Full House Charity Program with one goal - to help local families in need. It’s been a truly rewarding and heart-warming experience.www.rgtonline.com;

Dr. Jeffery S. Geller, director of Integrative Medicine and Group Programs at the health center, said that this good deed made everyone feel special, especially children. Each family received gift certificate that covers the cost of the meal for the family at Chill’s Grill and kids were more than satisfied with the holiday package that includes winter clothes, books, toys, board games, sports balls and Sports Illustrated for Kids magazines. Many of the toys and games for kids were donated by the Eastern Poker Tour and RunGoodGeer Poker pros.

We are thrilled to partner with Bernard, a long-time member of the EPT family as both a player and commentator for such a great cause. This is our second year in a row that, together, we have been able to make such a positive impact on families. It is astonishing, that some cannot afford something that we all take for granted, a ball or a toy as a present, and with the help of our players we are glad to help that cause. Eastern Poker Tour President Glenn McCrory, www.rgtonline.com;
