Playing Poker with a Purpose – raising money for our community!

Congratulations to Karen Daly who was the big winner of our inaugural Queens Club event held back in April 2026. Karen was able to donate $5,000 to Note in the Pocket. The Mission for this amazing charity is to provide clothing to homeless and impoverished children and families with dignity and love.

Queens Club Inc. is a 501c3 established right here in North Carolina in 2017. Our purpose is to bring women together to network, socialize and play poker to raise money for local nonprofits. All monies raised during the poker game are donated to the charities of choice of the woman who wins the game. It’s a unique way to bring women together in fun and fellowship to benefit those around us who need a helping hand. Experience playing poker is preferable but not required to participate in an event.

About the upcoming Queens Club North Raleigh event:

Jennifer Robertson, Lauren Kennedy and Carla Frederick are pleased and excited to invite you to the SECOND event of the newest chapter of the organization, The Queens Club North Raleigh.
