Our Mission

Elevating Fundraising Through Experience.

From the exclusive annual Tiger Woods Charity Poker Tournament at ARIA Las Vegas, benefiting the Tiger Woods Foundation, to the Daniel Arsham Celebrity Invitational featuring A-list talent competing for a custom Veiled Porsche sculpture, each event is designed to elevate both brand and cause. In 2023, WPT relaunched the $1,000,000 buy-in Big One for One Drop at Wynn Las Vegas, supporting sustainable access to safe water worldwide. The Russell Westbrook Why Not? Foundation Poker Night has raised over $1.5 million to advance education, workforce development, and mental health initiatives. Each partnership demonstrates one outcome: premium experiences that drive meaningful impact and measurable fundraising results.
