STAC Deals out Cards, Chips and Charity with Annual Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament

Industry will gather for a night to support the STAC Fund’s Chicagoland scholarship program

CHICAGO, IL, October 16, 2024: The Security Traders Association of Chicago (STAC), a membership organization for individual professionals in the securities industry in Chicago and an affiliate of The Security Traders Association (STA), will host its annual STAC Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament on Thursday, October 24, 2024, at Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse. Featuring an evening of high stakes poker action, Vegas-style casino games and amazing food and hospitality, all net proceeds from the tournament will support the STAC Fund’s mission of philanthropy and education.

“The STAC Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament launched over 10 years ago and we’re immensely proud of how much it has grown and the funds we’ve been able to raise to support Chicagoland students and our broader community initiatives,” said James Bohrer, STAC Board of Directors Member and Head of Real Time and Low Latency Data Sales, Americas at LSEG. “Every year we’re amazed at the generous support from our sponsors and members who come together to power this premier fundraising event, give back to our thriving Chicago community and support the next generation of students who want to better themselves in their next educational endeavor.”

Event proceeds will fuel the STAC Fund, a 501c3 organization founded by STAC in 1991 to provide scholarships to deserving students and give back to charitable and educational institutions. The STAC Fund has made more than $500,000 in charitable donations and scholarship awards over the past decade due to the generosity of STAC members, sponsors and friends attending STAC events such as the STAC Texas Hold’ Em Tournament.

Doors to the STAC Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament will open at 5:00 PM before cards fly at 6:15 PM. Player and spectator registration is open and all attendees will enjoy a full Gibsons dinner, open bar, raffles and networking with the STAC community. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for organizations to support the event and the STAC Fund.
