William Peraza Jr., CEO of "The CEO Poker Show" in the
States is a gambling man who believes in putting benefits up front
for charity instead of just talking about it.
This week his company, which owns and produces the upcoming television
show "The CEO Poker Show" is using the eBay auction Web
site to sell a $100 000 television sponsorship package to benefit
a Florida charity. For the right price, the successful bidder will
receive television mentions, their logo on the poker tables, signage
at the event and access to the CEO players.
"The CEO Poker Show" sponsorship package can be bid on in
the Giving Works area of eBay. A percentage of proceeds raised will
be donated to Best Buddies Charity, based in Miami, Fla.
The television show will be hosted at The Palms in Las Vegas, where
top executives from top companies will compete in a No-Limit Hold'em
poker tourney for the title of Chairman of Poker and a large cash
prize.
"This is the first time eBay bidders will be able to bid
on a television show advertising sponsorship package on eBay,"
says Peraza. "We saw eBay as an amazing way to reach millions
with a unique television advertising and marketing opportunity."
