❤️♠️ POKER FRIENDS & FAMILY… LET’S RALLY AROUND STEVE MADSEN! ♠️❤️
Longtime staple of the Fargo-Moorhead poker community, Steve Madsen is facing a battle no one should have to face alone.
Steve has been involved in the poker community for years, and now it’s our turn to show him what this community does best: come together and take care of one of our own.
The Steve Madsen Benefit Poker Tournament will be held Saturday, September 19, at the Harwood Community Center, with proceeds helping Steve and his family during his cancer battle.
