“I’m really excited to be co-hosting this event with Robert Williamson III and to be supporting such an important cause. The climate is changing and the poor will be the hardest hit. Anything we can to do raise awareness of this issue and help save lives is important”, commented Phil Hellmuth, who will not only be playing in the event but he will emcee it as well.
