The charity event will shift along with Las Vegas Market dates; participants will take Covid-19 safety precautions

The 13th annual Ante4Autism event will be held Tuesday, April 13, at the Golden Nugget Grand Event Center in Las Vegas. The charity event draws participants, sponsors, supporters and attendees from the furniture and mattress industries and raises money for autism-related charities.

According to a news release, the date change was made to coincide with the Winter Las Vegas Market, which has shifted from its typical January schedule to April 11-15 because of pandemic stay-at-home restrictions in Nevada.

Because of Covid-19, organizers say they will limit the total number of players and the number of players at each table and will follow safety guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including requiring masks and social distancing.
