On Thursday, Push Your Chips In for a Good Cause at The Ritz

You don’t need a championship poker face to turn a Thursday night out into a major win for local families. ♠️♥️♦️♣️

All-In to Fight Cancer deals out its annual Raleigh Texas Hold’em charity tournament on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2026, at The Ritz. Proceeds from the evening directly support two local nonprofits making a difference across the Triangle: the Lung Cancer Initiative and The Helene Foundation.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with complimentary local food and live music before cards hit the table at 6:30 p.m. sharp. Whether you are competing at a table staffed by professional dealers or grabbing an observer pass just for the raffles, refreshments, and atmosphere, every hand helps fund local cancer research and family support.

📍 The Ritz – 2820 Industrial Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609
📅 Thursday, Nov. 19, 2026 | 5:30-10:30 p.m.
💰 $75 observer, $275 single player, $400 two-player bundle, $3,000-$5,000 table sponsorships
📎 https://allintofightcancer.org/attend-an-event/

Practice your best sunglasses-and-hoodie poker face before you head out. Even if you bust out early on a bad river card, you can always re-buy or console yourself at the raffle table.
