♠♥♣♦ Go "All In" for fun, fellowship, and a great cause! ♠♥♣♦
Join us this fall for the 2nd Annual KNCB Fundraising Poker Tournament—an exciting evening of networking,
cards, camaraderie, friendly competition, and community impact!
Following a successful inaugural tournament, we’re going all in again with an even bigger night of Texas Hold’em,
great food and drinks, a lively atmosphere, and an expanded lineup of prizes to be won,
all in support of Keep North Carolina Beautiful.
While state law prohibits cash payouts, we’re stacking the prize table with getaways, outdoor entertaining packages,
dining and entertainment experiences, and much more to keep the excitement going until the final hand.
The evening will also feature the 3rd Annual KNCB Bourbon & Spirits Raffle, with our largest collection yet of highly allocated and hard-to-find bourbons, rye whiskeys, scotch, tequila, and other premium spirits.
Attendees can also take their chances in our 50/50 raffle, where one lucky winner takes home half the pot.
And if the cards don’t cooperate early, you’re not necessarily "flushed." Re-buys will be available through the end of the 6th round, giving players another opportunity to get back in the game, chase the final table, and support a great cause.
Whether you’re a seasoned poker player or trying your hand at Texas Hold’em for the first time, you’ll be playing for much more than bragging rights. Every seat, every hand, and every chip helps KNCB expand environmental education, support community beautification and litter-prevention efforts, and inspire environmental stewardship throughout North Carolina.
Seats are limited, and last year's inaugural tournament was just the beginning.
Join us for an even bigger 2nd Annual KNCB Fundraising Poker Tournament and go all in for a cleaner,
greener, and more beautiful North Carolina!

Tournament Prize & Raffle Ticket Distribution
Due to North Carolina law (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-309.29), no cash prizes will be awarded based on tournament results. Tournament prizes will instead be awarded, through a raffle drawing at the conclusion of play.
Each tournament participant will receive two (2) raffle tickets upon check-in and registration. Players may choose which available tournament prize drawing(s) they would like to enter their tickets into.
Additional raffle tickets can be earned during the tournament:
-
Re-Buy: A player who uses their one permitted re-buy back into the tournament will receive three (3) additional raffle tickets.
-
By purchase. Poker prize raffle tickets may be purchased, tow (2) for $100, with all proceeds benefitting KNCB programming.
-
Final Chip Count: When tournament play concludes at 9:30PM, players will receive one (1) additional raffle ticket for every $10,000 in tournament chips remaining.
The more chips you have at the end of tournament play, the more opportunities you'll have to win!

Tournament play concludes at 9:30 p.m., with the prize drawings beginning at approximately 10:00 p.m.
