Pokerstars.net and the Hollywood office of the Humane Society of the United States recently got together for an evening of gambling, vegan snacks, and fun.
Actress Jorja Fox looked lovelier than ever as she played her chips and cards and fellow veggie actress Shannon Elizabeth was also dealing a sharp hand to help the animals.
Proceeds from the “Casino Royale: Playing for Change” event went towards implementing the Los Angeles HSUS’s End Dogfighting program, which educates high risk youth about caring for pit bulls versus putting them up for dogfighting. The program has already proven successful in other large cities like Chicago.
This past weekend’s event included blackjack, roulette, craps and poker, a martini and wine bar, gourmet vegan food catered by Madeleine Bistro, a silent auction, and a celebrity poker tournament.
Wonder if vegan poker great Daniel Negreanu made an appearance?
