Last month, we brought our 6th Annual Why Not? Foundation Poker Night to @fblasvegas with @WPT, bringing together players, partners and supporters for another memorable year at the tables.
Over six years, Poker Night has raised more than $3 million in support of our work across education, workforce development, mental health and wellness, and community engagement.
Thank you to everyone who continues to make this event possible.
