The 2. Bundesliga club, Deutscher Sport-Club Arminia Bielefeld (DSC), recently organized a sponsored poker event in collaboration with its official gambling partner, the Gauselmann Group. Dubbed the “DSC Casino Night,” this charitable initiative aimed to bring together former and current DSC players and sponsors for an evening of poker and casino entertainment. The event, held at Merkur Casino Bad Oeynhausen, not only fostered camaraderie but also contributed to a worthy cause.
Charitable Poker Night:
The DSC Casino Night, organized by DSC Arminia Bielefeld in conjunction with the Gauselmann Group, saw over 90 participants, including past and present DSC players. The event centered around a poker tournament and casino games, with the proceeds dedicated to charity.
Fun and Fundraising:
The event commenced with eight poker tables, offering an exciting poker competition. Participants who were knocked out of the tournament early were treated to a tour of the casino, featuring roulette and blackjack tables, adding to the overall entertainment.
Winner Takes Home the Prize:
Mike Ibsch, a representative of BKK Gildemeister Seidensticker, a statutory health insurance fund, emerged as the victorious poker player of the night. He received a prize of €1,905 ($2,019), symbolizing the year of Arminia’s foundation.
Supporting a Worthy Cause:
All the proceeds from the DSC Casino Night will be donated to Horizontas, an association affiliated with Erwitt, dedicated to providing grief counseling to children, young people, and their families. The event’s success reflects its positive impact, both in terms of its organization and the spirited atmosphere.
Partnership Success:
Rainer Schütte, President of DSC Arminia Bielefeld, expressed gratitude to the Gauselmann Group, which has been a longstanding partner, for their contribution to the success of the “DSC Casino Night.” This initiative showcased the fruitful collaboration between the club and its partners.
The “DSC Casino Night” hosted by DSC Arminia Bielefeld, in collaboration with the Gauselmann Group, stands as a testament to the power of sports and entertainment in supporting charitable causes. This poker event not only fostered goodwill but also made a significant contribution to Horizontas, reinforcing the positive impact of sports partnerships on communities and charitable endeavors.
