We're All in for Willie: Poker, Prizes, Great Fun, and MoreAbout this Event
We're back for the Second Annual Willie Garson Memorial Poker Tournament!
Willie Garson was a talented actor, dear friend to many, and above all, a doting Dad to Nathen. Willie adopted Nathen from foster care when Nathen was 7 years old and the two developed a bond like no other.
Poker was one of Willie's most favorite pastimes, and we are excited to get together once again in such a meaningful way. Last year's event raised more than $35,000 for youth in foster care, and with your help, we can up-the-anti this year!
