Throughout the year, You Gotta Believe hosts several fundraising events to engage donors and volunteers and to bolster its mission. Learn more below and join us for one – or all!
Annual Willie Garson Poker Tournament
2026 Date Coming Soon!
Beloved actor and foster care advocate, Willie Garson, was best known on screen as Sanford Blatch in Sex and the City. But off camera, Willie was a loveable adoptive Dad to Nathen and a vocal advocate for older youth adoption. Following Willie’s tragic death from pancreatic cancer in 2021, his close friends in Los Angeles began hosting a memorial poker tournament to benefit You Gotta Believe.
The Fourth Annual Willie Garson Poker Tournament will be held in 2026. Please check back for more information. In the meantime, learn more about The Willie Garson Fund at You Gotta Believe and the incredible work that continues in Willie’s memory.
