Thank You for Helping Make the 2026 Charity Poker Championship Unforgettable!

On Thursday, April 16th, over 150 players gathered at Galleria Marchetti for an amazing evening of Texas Hold’em, great food, drinks, and celebration at our Charity Poker Championship. It was an incredible night filled with energy, connection, and a shared commitment to Camp One Step’s mission.

Thanks to your generosity, we are thrilled to share that we raised over $105,000 to help send kids with cancer and their families to Camp One Step.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our generous sponsors for making this event possible. We are also so grateful to our incredible bounty players, Marley Kayden, Bob Popper, Ben Ponzio, Ron Magers, Jason Finn, Richard Roeper, Matt Spiegel, Kate Chappell, and Aaron Flores, who brought so much excitement and added an extra layer of fun to the tournament. Thank you to our friends at Edrington for providing our amazing bounty player knock out prizes.

A special congratulations to John, our tournament champion, on his incredible win. We are thrilled to share that he will be heading to Las Vegas to compete in the World Series of Poker Main Event.

Know that because of your participation in this event, more kids and families will have the chance to step away from their diagnoses and experience the joy, connection, and lifelong impact of Camp One Step.

We are so grateful to have you as part of this community.
