I'd like to take a moment to point you all in the direction of ForPeyton.com, a website set up to help a little girl named Peyton whose mother passed away earlier this year from small cell ovarian cancer. This isn't the first time we have discussed this at Card Squad, but it is certainly worth repeating, and repeating, and repeating some more. The generosity of fellow poker players in helping those who are less fortunate is something that I am always amazed by and extremely proud of, and is something that sets this community apart from other clubs, groups, or organizations. In this case, poker players, bloggers, friends and family have joined to raise money for Peyton's future, as well as for small cell ovarian cancer research.

In the past I mentioned that professional poker players have made cash donations to the ForPeyton fund including Phil Hellmuth, Gavin Smith, and Josh Arieh, who each generously donated $2,000. If you are personally interested in contributing you may make a donation directly or bid on one of their eBay auctions - details to follow - and get yourself some poker swag. You have just under three days to place your bids, so head over to eBay via the links below.
