On March 10, 2026, Joe Shipman gained his wings after a courageous battle with lung cancer. He leaves behind his loving wife, Hali, and their three young children, whose lives have been forever changed.
In the face of this loss, we are coming together as a community to support them during this incredibly difficult time.
This benefit and poker run is more than just an event. It’s a chance for all of us to show up, give back, and remind this family that they are not alone.
