PokerStars is firmly committed to giving back. Almost $1.5 million dollars has already been raised towards the relief efforts in Haiti. Funds have been raised for global non-profits such as Ante Up For Africa ($360,000) and amfAR ($300,000). This time, PokerStars is concentrating their fundraising efforts locally to benefit Three Square – an organization that works tirelessly to feed the poor and needy in Las Vegas.
