More than 300 celebrities, voiceover actors and guests made up a full house at the SAG Foundation’s Third Annual Poker Classic on Aug. 24 in Los Angeles. The SAG Foundation Poker Classic is the major annual fundraiser for its Don LaFontaine Voice-Over Lab, dedicated to the professional development and success of voiceover artists.

"No other facility exists for voiceover artists like the SAG Foundation’s Don LaFontaine Voice-Over Lab,” said SAG Foundation President JoBeth Williams. “We are proud our poker classic sold out in its third year so that the Don LaFontaine Voice-Over Lab can continue to support the voiceover community."
