Washington, DC.

The Project Lifesaver Foundation raised thousands of dollars today in a successful charity poker tournament. The tournament was hosted by Rhett Butler, who is a Founding Benefactor of the Foundation.

Mr. Butler is known to many in the poker world as the local man who won fifth place in the 2006 World Series of Poker held in Las Vegas, NV. Rhett won $3,216,182.00 in that event. Rhett's performance was no fluke. He has since made other final tables and cashed in many large tournaments.

Fun was had by all in the holiday charity tournament. And thousands of dollars were donated to Project Lifesaver, so that less fortunate families might benefit from the lifesaving technology offered by Project Lifesaver.

"We are very thrilled that Rhett was able to provide such generous support through his poker tournament," said Rick Rahim, Executive Director of the Project Lifesaver Foundation.
