Join us this fall for KNCB’s First-Ever Charity Poker Tournament - A thrilling night of cards, camaraderie, and community spirit!
Picture the buzz of the room, the shuffle of the deck, the friendly banter at the tables, and the excitement of pushing all your chips forward for a cause worth going all in on.
We’re pairing this unforgettable night with delicious food and drinks, a lively atmosphere, and plenty of chances to win extraordinary prizes. While state law prohibits cash payouts, we’ve stacked the prize table with luxury getaways to Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, a 65” LED TV, a Blackstone grill, and many more surprises to keep the excitement high
until the final hand.
This year’s tournament will also feature the 2nd Annual KNCB Bourbon & Spirit Raffle, giving attendees a shot at some of the most sought-after bottles, along with a 50/50 raffle where one lucky winner takes home half the pot. And for players looking to stay in the game a little longer, we’re allowing buy-backs through the end of the 3rd round—more chances to play, win,
and support the cause.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or trying your hand at Texas Hold’em for the first time, you’ll be playing for more than just bragging rights. Every hand you play fuels Keep North Carolina Beautiful’s mission—beautifying communities, creating vibrant outdoor classrooms, and inspiring environmental stewardship across the state.
Seats will go fast for this one-night-only event—secure your spot today, and play your hand for a cleaner, greener,
and more beautiful North Carolina!
