Jan.18.16. Charity event with Joe D’Amico
Last night, we were on hand to witness a charity event involving our featured sports handicapper Joe D’Amico at the Siena Italian here in Las Vegas. The event was a calendar signing featuring Las Vegas celebrities; the proceeds from calendar sales will benefit The Just One Project [www.thejustoneproject.com]. At the event, Joe encouraged the guests to give generously. For the event video, he spoke passionately of his desire to give back to the community and share the fruits of his labor to help worthy causes. It was amazing to see how responsible, successful people in the sports betting industry could be a force for good in the community.
If interested, you can purchase the benefit calendars from the event organizers’ website at platinumair.tv in the ‘Store’ section.
