Proudly sober Backstreet Boy star was in the zone before he WON the "Future of Los Angeles" Celebrity Poker Tournament benefitting The LAPD Youth Foundation and Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship at a private estate in Beverly Hills, CA this past week. All proceeds from the tournament benefitted youth from disadvantaged backgrounds - The event was hosted by Forbix and Nobel LA, and was also produced by Co-Star Entertainment CEO, Traci Szymanski.

The charity event featured a poker tournament, delicious food and cocktails, music, prizes, and more, and was hosted at an amazing location in Benedict Canyon at the former home of Gene Simmons. 

Participants had an opportunity to play alongside celebrities, athletes and professional poker players to raise funds to help support at-risk, inner-city youth. Those that played in the poker tournament created a meaningful impact on the lives of inner-city youth in Los Angeles. It was an incredible way to contribute to an important, local cause, all while having fun.

Proudly sober Backstreet Boy star AJ McLean ultimately won the tournament, helping raise funds and bring further awareness to the importance of supporting at-risk and inner-city youth for those in need of support in the city of Los Angeles, and beyond!
