About the Event

What a night to remember!

We gathered under the stars at the iconic Paramount Studios lot for an unforgettable Annual Poker & Casino Night benefiting Variety Children’s Charity of Southern California—and thanks to our incredible community, it was a tremendous success.

Together, we raised more than $250,000 to help children across Southern California with disabilities, developmental challenges, and special needs. These funds will support Variety’s programs that provide adaptive equipment, mobility assistance, recreational opportunities, and essential resources that help children and families experience greater independence, inclusion, and opportunity.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special. We are incredibly grateful for our amazing friends, donors, supporters, volunteers, partners, and everyone who contributed their time, generosity, and energy to this event.

We truly could not do it without you. Your support makes a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families throughout Southern California. 

Here’s to an incredible night, an even greater cause, and the wonderful community that continues to make it all possible!

This is a 21+ event only.
