MIAMI, FL–(Marketwire – August 13, 2010) –  In keeping with its commitment to help those less fortunate, UB.com is going all in to support single parents. The online poker site is donating a seat in the 2011 World Series of Poker to the tournament prize pool of the annual Shawn Marion Foundation Celebrity Poker Tournament.

The celebrity poker tournament gets underway on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant, Oklahoma. Proceeds from the tournament will go to the Shawn Marion Foundation, an organization founded by Dallas Mavericks star Shawn Marion to provide life-changing opportunities and experiences to single parent families.
