This is our story...
December 11th, 2017, two guys sat around a table to discuss future fundraising for Project RELO. It was very clear we did not want just any ole event like golf or a 5k race. Once the idea was put on paper to see how that looked, it was clear we needed to act fast.
Within a few days we realized a date we had in mind, February 23rd, 2018. We had 74 days to plan the entire event. Can it be done? Yes is the correct answer.
We had something up our sleeve, WSOP, World Series of Poker! We had something no one else had. All that is needed is to put together a team and lots of planning.
2018 Casino Royale was a huge success.
On February 22nd, 2018 Casino Royale was born. This event was located in Frisco Texas at Verona Villa. We had 400+ guests with 50+ volunteers, even some of the Dallas Cowboys were there.
We have 110 registered poker players for the event. The event company that was licensed to put on an official tournament went without a hitch. What does the winner get? A seat at Las Vegas worth 10,000k
The winner is: Tommy Tripp – In July 2018, Tommy flew to Las Vegas for the 10k seat at the World Series of Poker.
Next up: Plan for the next event!
February 21st, 2019 Casino Royale 2 began with just around 100 poker players. For the second time this event was held in Frisco Texas at Verona Villa.
We changed a few things. No gala, just music in the background and let the players do what they do best, play poker.
And for the 2nd time, Casino Royale was a huge success.
Casino Royale number 3 was set on February 20th, 2020. And for the third time this event was held at Verona Villa in Frisco Texas.
The winner: Scott from Lithia Motors
And that seat was given to Tommy Tripp in a last minute deal via LIVE auction right after the tournament.
Then the pandemic happened and the WSOP event was postponed.
New year, new events. Partnering with previous volunteers, enter Regional Tournaments for a full year of fundraising.
First tournament of poker was in Bedford Texas at the Ice House.

More regional events are under way this year. There will be 2 in Texas, those dates are pushed to March and no other details at this time.
One very huge item was born, not only will Casino Royale 4 have it’s own event. We will be doing an event on the Michigan National Guard military base on June 4th, 2022. With the event and our own, we will be sending not ONE but TWO winners to Las Vegas. The 2 seats are worth 10k in value each.
