The Strophy Foundation invites community members to ante up for a great cause at its 2nd Annual Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Columbia Hall, 6794 Martin Way E. in Lacey.
Presented by the Strophy Foundation to benefit Thurston County Therapeutic Courts, the tournament brings together an evening of friendly competition, food, prizes and community in support of programs that help individuals create healthier, more stable futures.
Doors open at 5:00 p.m., followed by a Texas Hold’em tutorial at 5:45 p.m. for those who would like a refresher before play begins. The tournament gets underway at 6:00 p.m.
