If you are one of the few people in the poker blogging community who hasn't heard about the For Peyton charity auction, then please read on. A member of our community, Bobby Bracelet, has brought to our attention the story of a little girl named Peyton whose mother recently passed away from small cell ovarian cancer. Poker players, bloggers, friends and family have joined to raise money for Peyton's future, as well as for small cell ovarian cancer research.

Professional poker players have been making donations, including Phil Hellmuth, Gavin Smith, and Josh Arieh, who each generously donated $2,000. If you are interested in contributing you may make a donation or bid on one of their eBay auctions - which is a great way to get some poker swag. Auctions are live on eBay right now and will close on July 13, 2006. You can visit the For Peyton website for direct links to the auctions, as well as more information about this cause.
