DALLAS - April 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Core24 (http://www.core24inc.com/), a business resources company in Dallas that helps companies access exceptional business service providers in areas typically outsourced, is hosting a poker tournament with a purpose. “Poker for PTSD,” a community-wide fundraiser benefiting Heroes Project, will take place at 6:00 p.m., May 18, at The New Life Hardwood Floors Event Center and Showroom at 915 Slocum St. in Dallas.

Co-founded by Chris Kyle, a retired Navy SEAL sniper who died earlier this year, and Jason Kos, CEO of FITCO, Heroes Project is a non-profit organization designed to help veterans combat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by providing gym equipment, installing home gyms, group fitness and life coaching.
