Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club may be the best place on the Vegas Strip for laughs, but the three-time Emmy-winning comic is also serious about charity. On Saturday, September 17, Tropicana Las Vegas resort and casino will welcome the second “All-In for All-Good” Hold’em Tournament, benefiting his Maximum Hope Foundation.

Hosted by Brad Garrett, the charity tournament will welcome professional poker players and celebrity guests including Ray Romano, Jason Alexander, Cheryl Hines and poker champion Annie Duke to compete for a $5,000 grand prize. The final round will take place in Tropicana’s new, ultra-plush Poker Room. The entry fee for the tournament is $500, which includes a buffet during the tournament and cash bars. For players and non-players, there will be a silent auction with rare musical, sports, and entertainment memorabilia. The day before the tournament, registered players may request free tickets to Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club (first 150 requestors only).

About Maximum Hope Foundation - www.MaximumHopeFoundation.org

Brad Garrett is the founder of Maximum Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization that offers compassionate, practical assistance to families caring for a child with life-limiting illness. It is our belief that no family should have to choose between paying their bills and attending to their son or daughter as he or she battles to survive. Many parents lose income or employment as a result of taking time off to care for their little one, or struggle to make ends meet when faced with mounting medical bills. Our mission is to provide families in need with everyday essentials like housing, utilities and groceries, so they can focus on what is most important: their child.

To learn more about our mission, the families and children we assist, and how you can help, please visit: www.MaximumHopeFoundation.org. Follow us on Facebook at Facebook.com/MaximumHope, or learn about Maximum Hope's founder, Brad Garrett, at www.BradGarrettComedy.com.
