Furniture World News Desk on 12/9/2019

The 12th annual Ante4Autism event, scheduled for January 25, 2020 at the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas, has added additional sponsors to the annual Charity poker tournament. Rize, Coconis Furniture and Myra Stone & Caroline Niccum have all become Silver $1000 sponsors for the event. Maxime Mills will also sponsor again at the $500 Bronze level.  “Co-Hosts Randy Coconis and Myra Stone have been there from the beginning and have been 2 of the biggest cheerleaders for the event and cause” said Founder Doug Krinsky.

Ante4autism Founder Doug Krinsky has renamed the Grand Champion winner, the “Apollo Jett Grand Champion”.  The naming of the Grand Champion after Apollo is to honor Apollo’s life and the tremendous help and support Karina and Chip Jett throw into this event.  Apollo had Autism and passed away at an early age and we want to honor him by naming the Grand Champion award after him.

BBO Poker Tables and Townsley Portraits have also donated 1 of a kind items for the auction this year.  BBO Poker Tables is the official poker table partner of the World Poker Tour and the Golden State Warriors.  They are donating a fully custom poker table to be auctioned off the night of the event with a value of $3,000 - $7,000. Townsley Portraits of Las Vegas has donated a $1,000 value family portrait and a $1,000 value children’s portrait for the auction.  Co-Hosts thank both companies for joining our event and donating.

Players and attendees will be treated to great poker and fun times with many celebrities such as Jose Canseco, scheduled to appear and play again in the 2020 Ante4autism event.  In addition, there will be a live auction of 2 trips. The 1st trip is a 6 night, 7 day trip for 2 to Rio de Janeiro. Hotel pools, daily breakfast, spa, sauna, bars and a great restaurant – no restrictions, no blackout dates, a value of  $7500!  The 2nd trip is to Croatia – 4 bedroom, 3 bath villa sleeps 8.
