People Behind Poker Cares

The most valuable asset of any organization is the group of people who work together
to make it happen. We're proud of the people who make PokerCares possible.
 
Annie Van BebberAnnie Van Bebber, Founder of Fundraisers.com and PokerCares.com is also known as the Digital Maven and a recognized entrepreneur and a authority on New Media and the Internet. She has been dedicated to a variety of social causes for 35 years and has raised millions of dollars for charity. Her most recent accomplishments include the Jennifer Harman Nevada S.P.C.A. benefit at Caesars. Annie has the intuitive gift of truly knowing the consumer and has been at the forefront of media trends that have become a part of our culture.

She is an active member in the Technology Council of Southern California, Social Enterprise Alliance, Woman in Technology International and on the Board of the World Poker Association,. She is also a board advisor for Art Quotient and was the former Chairman of the Board of the Computer Game Developers.

Mary JonesMary Jones A Las Vegas resident, Mary Jones was raised in Dallas, Texas. While growing up she played cards with her family for fun, unaware she would someday compete professionally at the WSOP Ladies Event No Limit Hold'em Champion in 2006, beating out 1,127 other women to take home nearly a quarter million dollars and the coveted gold bracelet. Mary joins the ranks of the elite as the winner of the biggest and richest women's poker tournament in history.

Today Mary is taking time away from a successful business career to pursue her passions - professional poker and community service. She believes the talent, experience, and other qualities she learned in the corporate world will have better prepared her for the challenges that lay ahead at the poker table.

Mary was instrumental in the establishment of the newly created World Poker Association, whose mission is to assure the integrity of tournament poker by establishing fair and consistent rules and procedures. But as a loyal contributor and fundraiser for the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC for almost a decade, she'll continue to devote herself to this and other causes, such as:

  • AFAN - Aid for Aids Nevada
  • Member of WITI (Women in Technology International)
  • International Advisory Committee Member, VSArts, Washington, DC
  • Business Advisory Board Member, VSArts, Washington, DC
  • National Museum of Women in the Arts, Committee Member
  • Habitat for Humanity
  • Aid For Aids Nevada in Las Vegas
