"Each poker player can take satisfaction in knowing that by participating in our tournament, they are directly helping people with developmental disabilities," said Connie Oetken, Sunflower director of development. "Every cent we raise goes directly to our neighbors who have special needs."

Sunflower serves babies, toddlers and adults in Barton, Pawnee, Rice, Rush and Stafford counties. The non-profit agency is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year.
