for a small fee. Players may buy a poker hand for $15 or two hands for $25.
All proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society. Participants will visit
five sites in Salisbury and surrounding areas, where they will draw a
playing card in an effort to produce the best poker hand. Cash prizes will
be awarded to the best, second best and worst hands. All participants will
be entered into a drawing for a grand prize and will have a chance to win
door prizes. According to statistics, 212,920 new cases of invasive breast
