THANK YOU TO ALL WHO MAKE IT POSSIBLE
Due to the economy, the 2009 CIO Poker Tournament and Scholarship Fundraiser was structured differently. Admission was limited to Sponsors, Tournament Players via $2500 scholarship donations, VIP Patrons ($750), and the invited CIOs. This arrangement made it possible for ITWomen to provide the maximum amount of scholarships with the limited resources available this year.

Thank you to all of our individual contributors to the ITWomen Charitable Foundation Scholarship Fund!
