Fundraising Events
As Co-Chairs from all past Poker Bowl Tournaments, we’ve joined forces to celebrate 10 years of Poker Bowl!
While we're unable to get together for this year's tournament, our hope is that you'll sweeten the pot by pushing your donation all-in this year to help fund the virtual services that Cancer Support Community Pasadena currently offers those dealing with cancer during this pandemic.

"In this world in which we live simplicity and kindness are the only magic wants that work wonders"
- L. Frank Baum, The Emerald City of OZ
We hope you enjoyed your visit to Emerald City on Saturday evening! We can’t thank you enough for “attending” CSCP’s first-ever virtual Angel Gala, and oh, what a night it was! Thanks to YOU, we accomplished the following:
-
Because of your tremendous generosity, we raised an incredible $356,000!
-
The virtual format dramatically lowered our gala expenses (a silver lining).
-
Most importantly, our net revenue is an unbelievable $321,000 to support our free programs and services for families facing cancer!
-
Over 600 people tuned in that evening, and since then, another 500 have watched the event online.
Was it magic? No, it was all YOU! Thank you for your opening your hearts and sharing your resources so generously for families facing cancer during this pandemic. We are grateful!
