7:00pm EST Welcome | 7:45pm EST Cards Fly

In 2014, Riley’s Way Foundation founder Ian Sandler finished 260th out of nearly 7,000 players at the World Series of Poker. While Riley never understood what he did for work, she knew that her daddy loved playing poker and was super proud of his run that year. That tournament inspired our Cards For Kindness Poker Tournament, which supports our mission to empower a youth-led movement, providing young people with the programs, support, and inclusive community they need to thrive as changemakers.

The virtual event will begin with a brief welcome and presentation on Zoom at 7:00pm EST, and at 7:45pm EST cards fly and play begins. All tables will have breakout rooms so you feel like you are playing live and will be able to catch up with friends old and new.

Everyone who plays in our third annual Cards For Kindness Poker Tournament will have a chance to win the grand prize — a chance to make poker history as a contestant in the World Series of Poker Main Event — perhaps you will end up on CBS Sports or stand atop the entire field of over 7,000 players and win north of $8 million dollars and the title of championship poker player of the year!
