The event is expected to draw dozens of celebrities and professional poker players to hit the gaming tables to raise public awareness and funds for the charities, prior to Gratwick’s crowdfunding project.
The fun-filled, interactive fundraiser will also provide an unforgettable evening of charitable casino gaming, premium cocktails, and delicious cuisine. The poker tournament will feature a Shootout style format with celebrities and professional poker players joining each table to play with guests for a Grand Prize entry ticket into the main event of this year’s World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

The ten-hour web-a-thon will feature live entertainment, comedians, celebrity pop-ins and online guests, even members of the audience, from around the world. Backers of the campaign will have the opportunity to vote on the charity the campaign and film will benefit as well as issue event bounties for guests to complete to increase their chances of winning prizes. For guests not participating in the poker tournament there will be innovative entertainment to go with games of nostalgia for a chance to win a grand prize vacation package to Catalina Island and many other prizes.
