The Lodge poker club was recently raided by TABC, resulting in the sudden closure of the business and the loss of jobs for hundreds of dedicated employees. Many of these staff members have been part of the Lodge family for years, and the abrupt shutdown has left them facing an uncertain future. The impact has been immediate, with families struggling to cover rent, bills, groceries, and daily living expenses as they search for new opportunities.

The Lodge has always been more than just a place to play cards—it’s a community built on trust, camaraderie, and mutual support. The staff have worked tirelessly to create a welcoming environment for everyone, and now, in their time of adversity, they need our help more than ever. By coming together, we can provide a lifeline to those who have given so much to the poker community.

This fundraiser is an opportunity for the poker community to show how much we appreciate the staff at the Lodge and to stand with them as they navigate this difficult transition. Every donation, no matter the size, will help these employees cover essential expenses and give them hope for the future. Thank you for your support and for showing that the Lodge family is stronger together.
