    raise more than just the ticket price

    Poker inspires players to keep the game going and the donations flowing. Friendly competition encourages rebuys and add-ons, turning a single entry fee into multiple contributions – without you ever having to make the ask.  

  • Poker events Gold club on a navy circle.

    build connections that last

    Random seating and a shared experience break down social cliques and spark real connections. Poker naturally builds community – and those relationships carry over into future campaigns.

"We have used them for 7 years for our temple’s poker tournament fundraiser. Because they were so amazing I actually also used them for my employee appreciation night. I cannot speak highly enough about their team.  I book them a year in advance just to make sure we work with them. Thank you MY poker people!!!!"

"Love The Poker People! They are professional, responsive, easy going with their main goal of making sure your poker tournament is a huge success. They have been part of the Jason Alexander Celebrity Tournament for many, many years! We could not do it without them."

Marlene M, WeSpark Cancer Center

"These guys have done two charity poker tournaments for my family and I've been at many more they've run, just as a participant. They've knocked it out of the park every time. They are timely, professional and knowledgeable. Aside from the obvious, they love what they do. They're fun to hang out with. I'll use them as my first choice every time."

Richard D, Numi Opera

"BEST experience EVER! All of my guests had a terrific time and the event raised over $34,000!! unbelievable. They were super kind and all the dealers were excellent with beginners. They never made them feel bad. The dealers knew how to move the table and keep it going. I can't wait to hire them again next year and will definitely refer them to anyone."
