The time is approaching for ladies to leave their men at home for an exciting evening of poker, drinks and charity. ‘Chicks with Chips,’ a charitable women’s poker tournament, is back for its second year (at a new location) and will be held on Sunday, May 23, 2010 at Whitlows on Wilson in Clarendon, Virginia at 4 p.m. Tickets are priced at $60 per player and proceeds from the tournament will directly benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Before participants divide into tables, a quick tutorial will be given to refresh the rules for poker aficionados and help first-timers on their game. In addition to playing Texas Hold ‘Em for a great cause, ladies will savor mouth-watering food and drinks, have the opportunity to win some amazing prizes, and enjoy their own night of poker and cocktails without feeling left out from men’s-only poker nights, all while being dealt cards by Chippendales-outfitted University of Maryland students.
Poker-savvy femmes will sip on Coronitas and unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, and nibble on delicious game-time appetizers in the “Loser’s Lounge.” For the fashionistas in the competition, ‘Chicks with Chips’ will be raffling off four advance screening tickets to the highly-anticipated Sex and the City 2 movie which officially releases on May 28.
The winners of the evening will also bag some fabulous prizes such as:
1. 1st place: 7 Days of Dining in Arlington ($400 value)
2. 2nd place: Gift card to Whitlow’s on Wilson/Restaurant 3 plus a poker set
3. 3rd place: Poker set
All entrants will receive swag bags for participating.
Whitlow’s on Wilson is located at 2854 Wilson Blvd. in Clarendon, VA. For reservations to ‘Chicks with Chips’ please call Whitlow’s on Wilson at 703-276-9693.
