About the event

Variety’s Charity Poker & Casino Night has become one of the most anticipated fundraising events in the industry as entertainment execs and celebrities Go ALL IN for a Great Cause! To date, Variety’s twelve Poker events have raised over two million dollars to provide lifesaving support for disabled, abused, physically-challenged, and underprivileged children in Southern California. Held at the beautiful Paramount Studios lot, over 400 studio executives, corporate partners and industry colleagues enjoy great food and Vegas-style gameplay, including Pai Gow, Let It Ride, and Baccarat. Before the cards are dealt, celebrities walk the Red Carpet and help raise awareness for Variety while local media outlets capture the evening’s festivities.

Thank you to all our sponsors, donors, and guests for making this such a memorable night!
