Annual Charity Poker Tournament

The Congressional Award Charity Poker Tournament is an annual event to benefit Congress’ only award for youth. The tournament brings together poker enthusiasts across the spectrum including Members of Congress, Chiefs of Staff, poker pros and friends of the Award for an evening of bluffs and blinds, all in the name of charity.

The event also features a Silent Auction and reception for those who may not be inclined to show off their poker skills but still want to take part in the charitable event.

The 2012 Poker Tournament took place on July 19, 2012 in Washington, DC. For additional information about the 2013 event, including sponsorship opportunities, please contact Erica Heyse at 202-226-0130.
