All in for HOPE: Poker Experience & Tournament is more than a night of cards—it’s a chance to come together for fun, connection, and a powerful cause. Guests will enjoy great food and drinks, an optional pre-game poker lesson (no experience needed!), and the excitement of a lively tournament—all while supporting the Family HOPE Center at Ready for Life. The Family HOPE Center works to prevent child abuse and strengthen families by surrounding young moms and parents with the resources, guidance, and community they need to thrive. Whether you’re going all-in at the table or cheering from the sidelines, every ticket, chip, and hand played helps build a safer, more supported future for the next generation.

About the Family HOPE Center at Ready for Life

The Family HOPE Center at Ready for Life is a hub of compassionate, wraparound support for young families—especially those at risk of instability or who have aged out of foster care. Through the nationally recognized Exchange Parent Aide Program, families receive 6–12 months of personalized, in-home mentoring to help build parenting confidence, strengthen family dynamics, and prevent child abuse before it starts.

But the support doesn't stop there.

Families are also connected to a wide range of vital services, including:

Crisis stabilization and emergency resources (diapers, baby supplies, pantry items)
Parenting and life skills like job coaching, meal planning, and goal setting
Health and dental care access through trusted partners like BayCare
Social connection and peer support through groups like Mommy & Me and Wingmen

The Family HOPE Center walks alongside parents during their most vulnerable moments—empowering them with the tools, support, and belief that a brighter future is possible.

Your support helps break the cycle. Together, we can build stronger, safer families and prevent abuse before it begins.
