"We're proud to continue our long-standing support for the LA Police Memorial Foundation and the generous and kind support they provide police officers and their families, many of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice in the protection of their community," said Eric Hollreiser, Vice President of Corporate Communications for PokerStars .
