One of the first and exclusive annual pre-Super Bowl parties hosted by the legendary sports agent Leigh SteinbergThere will be a poker tournament for the first time in the event’s 37-year history.
World Series of Poker (WSOP) champion Jamie Gold was chosen by Steinberg to host the poker festivities. PokerNews, along with many A-list celebrities and athletes, will be in attendance on February 10th at the Ahern Hotel just behind the Las Vegas Strip. All proceeds from the poker tournament go directly to the Special Olympics.
Poker for charity
Steinberg is one of the top sports agents in the United States and may have been the basis for Jerry Maguire, a sports agent played by Tom Cruise in the 1996 box office hit. Jerry Maguire – Rumor has it he is.
For 36 years and counting Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl Party was a staple of Super Bowl weekend. Only those personally invited by Steinberg, including many celebrities and superstar athletes, can take part.
With the Super Bowl taking place in Las Vegas this year, Steinberg wanted to incorporate a local theme. For this reason, there will be a charity poker tournament among many other activities during the event. But not everyone can take part in this poker game. Of the approximately 3,000 invited guests, 100 can take part in the tournament.
There will be at least one celebrity at each poker table, and VIP guests will require a $1,500 donation plus $500 in rebuys to participate in the game. There are many valuable prizes up for grabs, including entry to a luxury suite at Allegiant Stadium.
Since prizes are won, the organizer has taken care to comply with the Gambling Commission and obtain the appropriate licenses. While individuals cannot attend without a personal invitation, companies or professionals can make a sponsorship contribution of $25,000, which includes the company’s branding at the table, nine seats for the sponsor’s guests at the poker game, one signed by Gold and Steinberg custom poker table, etc. includes tax-deductible donation of $15,000 to the Special Olympics.
Gold, who won the 2006 WSOP Main Event for $12 million, will serve as co-host and was hand-selected by Steinberg to host the event.
“Our Super Bowl party has always been the gold standard for networking and relationship building, bringing together the most influential people in sports, entertainment, media and politics. Although this is an invitation-only event, we have opened the door to companies who would like to do so.” Get in on the action and take advantage of this event’s unparalleled networking opportunities. Corporate sponsorship gives your company the opportunity to host a group of guests or customers and recognize your company as an official partner of the event. Get ready to go. ALL IN.’ “We’re preparing for the best party yet,” Steinberg said.
Each year, Steinberg selects a different charity that focuses on brain health.
