LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Ed Asner Family Center in honor of their namesake, Ed Asner (the most decorated actor in the history of the Primetime Emmy® awards) presents the 11th Annual Ed Asner & Friends Celebrity Poker Night on June 3rd. Poker aficionados and fans alike are invited to participate in an in-person charity tournament featuring their favorite celebrities as opponents. Past celebrity players have included Ben Affleck, Jack Black, Michael Ian Black, Danny Bonaduce, Don Cheadle, Ron Funches, Daryl Hannah, Natasha Henstridge, Richard Kind, Stephen Moyer, Haley Joel Osment, Anna Paquin, Michael Shannon, Jean Smart, Mira Sorvino, and Wallows, to name a few.
"We are so pleased to be carrying on an 11 year tradition and we look forward to another star studded event with food from Pink's Hot Dogs, Mauro's Cafe, and In The Kitchen. My father loved poker and he counted the days until he could see his friends and play poker for his cause. We continue to do this in his honor.", said Matthew Asner, President/CEO of The Ed Asner Family Center.
Held at the Radford Studio Center on New York Street, a $275 donation secures your buy-in. For non-poker players looking to interact with celebrities and enjoy a summer night under the stars, tickets are $175. Both tickets include food and drinks, with all proceeds going to the charity.
The event benefits The Ed Asner Family Center (TEAFC), an all-encompassing resource dedicated to helping 'differently-abled' individuals (and their families) with Autism, developmental delays, and all types of special needs. The Ed Asner Family Center is a nonprofit, co-founded by Navah Paskowitz-Asner and Matthew Asner, whose mission is to be a one-stop shop for those with special needs and their families seeking wholeness in all attitudes of life. Catering not only to the individual but to the whole family, the Center acts as an oasis of balance and thought, interaction, and education. Additionally, the Center offers mental health services and arts and career advancement classes like cooking classes, yoga, acting, improv, and more. These classes set out to help promote self-confidence and balance.
Navah Paskowitz-Asner, Co-Founder of TEAFC, said, "The Ed Asner Family Center has had a busy year! We debuted our first ever Adult Day program in January and we couldn't have accomplished this without support at events like our 11th annual celebrity poker tournament. Your continued support is the only way to sustain our programs which include mental health services to low income families, camp scholarships, and our ground breaking relationship course, The Dating Spectrum. See you on June 3rd!"
