Picture this: a summer evening filled with the shuffle of cards, the clink of chips, and the thrill of a well-played hand—all for a cause that hits straight to the heart. On Saturday, June 21, 2025, the Armer Foundation is hosting our “Dealing Hope: A Night of Cards & Caring” Poker Tournament at Reel 1 Studios in Ahwatukee, AZ. And trust us, you won’t want to miss this one!

A High-Stakes Night with a Higher Purpose

We’re capping this Texas Hold’em showdown at just 36 players, making it an exclusive night of strategy and suspense. For a $75 early bid buy-in (plus $150 re-buys in the first hour), you’ll get a seat at the table, premium refreshments, and a shot at some seriously impressive prizes.  Doors open at 5:00 PM, and cards hit the felt at 6:00 PM sharp. Whether you’re a poker pro or just love a good bluff, this is your chance to play with purpose.

Every chip you stack helps families with children battling life-threatening illnesses. The Armer Foundation is all about easing their financial burdens—covering copays, premiums, and everyday costs—so they can focus on what matters most: their kids. Last year, your support helped us assist dozens of families across Arizona, and this poker night is our next big deal to keep that momentum going.

Why Reel 1 Studios?

We’re thrilled to partner with Reel 1 Studios (9830 S 51st Street, B-101, Phoenix, AZ 85044) for this event. Known for its creative vibe and spacious setup, it’s the perfect spot to transform into our poker haven. With room for four to six tables, and a cozy spectator area, it’s more than just a venue—it’s where hope gets dealt, one hand at a time.

More Than Just Poker

Not a card shark? No problem! We’re welcoming spectators to join the fun with a cash bar, light music, and a front-row seat to the action. Plus, we’ve got a wine and whiskey pull and some karaoke—all to boost our fundraising goal of $20,000. Every dollar raised goes straight to families who need it most.

How to Get In on the Action

Spots are limited, so don’t wait to secure yours. Registration is open now at armerfoundation.org/poker-night for players and spectators alike. Can’t make it? You can still support us with a donation online—every bit helps us stack the deck in favor of these incredible families.

A Night to Remember

This isn’t just about poker; it’s about community, compassion, and coming together for something bigger. Whether you’re chasing the royal flush or cheering from the sidelines, June 21st is your chance to deal hope alongside us. Mark your calendars, practice your poker face, and let’s make this a night of cards and caring.
