4th Annual David Fletcher Charity Poker Tournament: A Huge Success!
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us for the 4th Annual David Fletcher Charity Poker Tournament benefiting Summer Harvest – Food 4 Kids on January 24, 2025. Thanks to the generosity of our attendees, sponsors, and donors, we raised over $44,000 to support families in need. We had an incredible turnout for this year's tournament, with a room full of enthusiastic players, generous supporters, wonderful volunteers, and community champions coming together for a great cause. Guests enjoyed a night of friendly competition, delicious sliders and flatbread, silent auction items galore, and exciting prizes, including a flat-screen smart TV, AirPods, and a gift card to local favorite Spaghettini. The energy in the room was electric, and the camaraderie among players made for an unforgettable evening. What a fun night—thank you to everyone who joined us!
We are grateful for the incredible community of supporters who made this event possible. Thank you for going all in for families in need!
We hope to see you next year at the 5th Annual David Fletcher Charity Poker Tournament. Stay tuned for event details and ways to get involved.
