Join us for the 20th Annual All-In for Arthritis Texas Hold ’Em Tournament – an exciting night of high-energy competition, exceptional food and drink, and meaningful impact.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or just in it for the experience, every hand dealt helps move us closer to a future free from arthritis.
Are you ready to go all-in for a future free from arthritis? The cards are on the table, and we invite you to join us for the 20th Annual All-In for Arthritis Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament. Enjoy an unforgettable evening of high-energy poker, premium drinks, gourmet bites, exciting prizes, and inspiring community spirit, all in support of a cause that impacts millions of Canadians.
As we celebrate two decades of impact, we proudly recognize the incredible community of players, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who have helped make All-In for Arthritis one of Canada’s premier charity poker events. Since its first deal, the tournament has raised more than $4.6 million to support arthritis research, advocacy, and programs that improve the lives of the more than 6 million people in Canada living with this chronic disease.
Imagine trying to shuffle cards, stack chips, or hold a winning hand while living with pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. That is the daily reality for those affected by arthritis. That’s why every seat at the table matters. Whether you’re a seasoned poker player or simply looking to support a meaningful cause, every hand dealt helps bring us closer to a cure.
Join us as we mark this milestone 20th anniversary and help ensure the next chapter in the fight against arthritis is our most impactful one yet.
Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in Canada, costing over $33 billion each year and affecting 1 in 5 people — yet it remains underfunded and misunderstood. That’s why your partnership matters.
Funds raised at All-in for Arthritis support bold innovations, groundbreaking research, and sustain programs that are already reaching so many Canadians right now. From Arthritis Talks to Camp, together, we are driving transformative change — and hope — across the country.
