Jason Alexander's Annual Celebrity Poker Tournament

It was a FULL HOUSE and the chips were stacked high at last year’s Jason Alexander Celebrity Poker Tournament.  You could feel the excitement when our special guest hosts, Bryan Cranston & Kevin Pollak joined the stage and ceremoniously kicked off the tournament calling out “Shuffle Up & Deal!”  After hours of thrilling game play, our 2024 Champion Rich Gardner was awarded his 1st Place trophy and title!  Our runner-up, Wendy Jaffe Pressman proved to be a fierce competitor.  History was also made when FIVE female players secured seats this year at the Final Table.  Together, we raised over $150,000! Your support allows us to continue to provide free services and programs to cancer patients, survivors, and their loved ones.  Let’s do it again in 2025!
