Players Pledging Portion of Winnings to Love, Hallie Foundation

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
"The Earth" by Hallie Geier
"The Earth" by Hallie Geier

Some players in this and other BWPO events have pledged a percentage of their winnings to the Love, Hallie Foundation (https://www.facebook.com/lovehalliefoundation/).

LOVE, HALLIE's inspiration comes from Hallie Geier, a young activist who volunteered at soup kitchens and senior centers, was passionate about all animals and saved $398 to help children affected by AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. Though Hallie passed away in 2004 at age eleven, LOVE, HALLIE continues to spread her message of kindness.

Hallie's father, Ted Geier, is playing today's Deepest Stack and Jeff Shurilla has created a Facebook Fundraiser to raise money and awareness for the cause. A book entitled "The Earth" was created with Hallie's writings and poetry and it can be purchased on Amazon, with proceeds going to the Foundation in her name.
