All In For St. Jude

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a charity that runs largely on donations and fundraising efforts like this event. The hospital then uses these donations to fund the treatment and research of children’s cancers.

Last year, it was ranked as the third biggest charity in the U.S. by Forbes Magazine magazine, having raised $2.57 billion in private donations during 2024 alone.

The Hard Rock Hollywood’s poker room has played host to numerous high-profile events including World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker Circuit festivals. So, it is well situated to host an event like this. This was something that Ted McNamara — the Event Chair for the tournament and CEO/President of Les Murphy Enterprises, Inc. — was keen to point out.

“We are thrilled to host this poker/blackjack tournament and bring the community together for a night of fun and philanthropy,” McNamara said.. “Every hand played helps support St. Jude and ensures that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment.”

If you are in Florida in January and would like to take part, tickets are available the St. Jude website.
