Stocktwits Chips for Charity Rallies Funds with Faded Spade
This holiday season, Stocktwits teamed up with Faded Spade to host Chips for Charity - a charity poker tournament aimed at raising awareness and promoting diversity throughout the financial sector. More than $100K was raised from donors and sponsors with proceeds benefetting Wall Street Bound.
Stocktwits is the largest social network for investors and traders, with over two million registered community members and millions of monthly visitors. StockTwits was founded in 2008, with a mission to connect regular investors and traders with each other so they can profit, learn, and have fun.
Wall Street Bound’s mission is to get more urban youth into the front offices of Wall Street. By teaching the technical skills of equity & data analysis, trading and investing, we can empower under-represented young adults to aim beyond their present horizons and embark on fulfilling careers as investment professionals.
The 1st place winner earned a Chips for Charity Trophy and a Trade App account with $2,020! Other prizes included signed copies of Josh Brown and Brian Portnoy's new book How I Invest My Money and Jack Schwager's new book Unknown Market Wizards.
In addition to the virtual poker tournament, Stocktwits worked with Faded Spade to produce a live stream show (recording) of the event, which was a hit among players and viewers. Guests included Brian Portnoy, Caleb Silver, Christie Hamilton, Howard Lindzon, J.C. Parets, Jack Schwager, Saira Rahman and more.
