The Mid-Atlantic Poker Tournament has been a tradition in the Mid-Atlantic community for the past eight years. FIDF National Poker Tournament co-chairs and Baltimore lay leaders Dror Mei Tal and Michael Steinhardt, Owner and President of Clear Path Advisory, Inc., helped make this local event national.

The Maryland Chapter’s proceeds from the event will benefit the Kedem Battalion, adopted through FIDF’s Adopt-A-Battalion Program, which supports soldiers in the adopted units by providing financial assistance to soldiers in-need, caring for Lone Soldiers, and funding rest and recuperation weeks for combat soldiers.

“The virtual poker tournament is a wonderful way for FIDF’s Maryland and Delaware supporters to come together and have fun while promoting FIDF’s various programs, which offer hope, purpose, and life-changing opportunities for Israel’s soldiers,” said Mitch Gold, FIDF National Board member & Maryland chapter Chairman.
