Autism is an out-of-control epidemic in the U.S. and many other countries.

Just fifteen years ago, autism was an extremely rare disorder, diagnosed in

1 of 10,000 children. Today, 1 in 166 children are afflicted, with boys 4

times more likely to develop autism than girls. Autism is not solely caused

by an incurable genetic defect, it must have a biological or environmental

cause (and therefore a cure). The National Autism Association (NAA) is on

the forefront of directly funding scientific research that will yield the

most promising and immediate treatments for autism. To help fund our

efforts, we are holding a No-Limit Hold 'Em charity poker event on November

2, 2006 at Atlantic City's Borgata Resort Casino and Spa. The $250 event fee

includes entry into the Borgata's nightly $100+$20 Poker Tournament,

admission to a private " players lounge " with beer, wine, hors d'oeuvres and

a silent auction, and a $100 contribution to NAA. Players will also receive

special gifts made possible by donations from corporate sponsors. Optional

overnight accommodations at a special Charity Tournament rate of $129 will

be available to players wishing to spend the night at the Borgata in

Atlantic City.

A Non-Tournament-Players Package will be available for $130. This package

includes all of the above excluding entry into the tournament - a great

option for non-poker-playing spouses and friends who want to join the fun

and support the cause.

NAA Charity Poker Event Structure

Poker Tournament Buy-in and Players Lounge: We have created a charity poker

event that will appeal to both the Autism community AND the poker community.

The Tournament will follow the structure of the Borgata daily tournament and

feature a $100+$20 buy-in. A matching $100 " buy-in " will go to NAA to win

the fight against autism. Approximately 10% of players will receive cash

winnings according to the Borgata's daily tournament structure, with

pay-outs determined by the final number of players.

A players' lounge will be open only to our participants at the hottest night

club in Atlantic City, MIXX

lounge will be used for day-of-event sign-up, pre-tournament socializing, a

party space for " early-outs " and an awards ceremony for the winners at the

conclusion of the tournament. It will also provide an opportunity for

participants to learn more about the NAA. The players lounge will feature:

Hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine included (cash bar available)
