💜 OVER $10,000 RAISED! 💜

We would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported the Trip Aces Million Chip and Second Chance tournaments last weekend.

Because of the generosity and support of our amazing community, over $10,000 was raised for Cody, Kendra and their family as Kendra bravely continues her fight against leukemia. ❤️

Unfortunately, Cody was unable to be there to accept the cheque in person. He must remain in quarantine in order to be able to visit and be with Kendra during her treatment.

Tyler from Trip Aces presented the Cheque to Kayla. (Kendra's Sister)

Every player who took a seat, every volunteer who gave their time, and every person who donated, shared, helped or supported the weekend played a part in making this possible.

A huge thank you to Trip Aces for putting together such a meaningful weekend and allowing Compassion Connections to be part of it.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Kendra and her family. 💜

💜 Poker With a Purpose This Weekend 💜

Compassion Connections is honored to support Trip Aces this weekend as they host their Million Chip Tournament and Sunday Second Chance Tournament.

This weekend is about so much more! ❤️

Proceeds from the days activities will be donated to a local family bravely fighting leukemia, helping provide some support during an incredibly difficult time.

We invite the community to come down, enjoy some great poker, and most importantly, help us rally behind a family that could use our support.

Over the past few months, Compassion Connections has had the privilege of supporting three separate families who have each received life-altering medical diagnoses.

When a family is faced with unexpected challenges, the emotional, physical, and financial burdens can be overwhelming.

Through the generosity of our supporters, volunteers, sponsors, and poker community, we were able to step in and provide assistance during these difficult times.

While we respect the privacy of the families involved and will not be sharing personal details, we want them to know that they are not alone. Our thoughts are with them as they navigate their journeys, and we hope the support provided helps ease some of the stress they are experiencing.

This is exactly why Compassion Connections exists — to help members of our community when life takes an unexpected turn.

Thank you to everyone who supports our fundraisers and events. Your participation makes these acts of compassion possible and allows us to continue making a difference, one family at a time. 💜

If you or someone you know needs assistance, or wish to make a donation, please visit our website.
