Aspiring Donald Trumps and Warren Buffetts will have their chance to compete for pretend real estate stardom, all for a good cause, as the Lorton Community Action Center (LCAC) and Ron Kowalski Real Estate Group host the eighth annual Monopoly tournament in Lorton.
LCAC, a local nonprofit food and clothing assistance organization that helps between 240 and 280 local families each week, typically sees over 100 players turn out for the tournament raising upwards of $10,000 each year to help with their operating costs.
Players will compete in two 75-minute rounds, culminating in a final round with just six players. The top prize is $500, while the individual entry fee is $25.
The 2015 tournament takes place Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information visit www.lortonmonopoly.com.
