About the Charity Series of Poker
Founded in 2014, the Las Vegas-based Charity Series of Poker provides an easy way for poker players and celebrities to give back to their communities and the world through poker.
The CSOP has raised millions of dollars and has been supported by well-known pros like Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey and John Cynn.
In 2022, the CSOP held the 7th Annual “St. Jude Against All Odds” poker tournament to raise money for the children's research hospital and award a $10,000 seat to the 2022 WSOP Main Event. Sponsors of the event included CSOP, Golf Venture, JB Public Relations, Johnson Brothers of Nevada, and SKC Group.
