The 'Texas Hold 'Em' tournaments were held at Beverly's Franco-American Club on March 6 and April 17, and were advertised as a benefit for the New York-based Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. But a spokesman for the charity said it hasn't received a dime.
'It's not something we authorized and we're not happy with how things have shaped up,' spokesman Peter Cleary told The Salem News."
