Baller Dream Foundation and Circa Resort & Casino to Host Celebrity Poker Tournament, April 28-30

Three-Day Weekend Experience Hosted by Hall of Fame Pitcher Greg Maddux to Benefit Young Warriors Battling Cancer

The Baller Dream Foundation will join downtown Las Vegas’ Circa Resort & Casino for a celebrity poker tournament and three-day weekend April 28 – 30 benefiting cancer warriors ages 0-29.





Hosted by Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux, the Baller Dream Celebrity Poker Tournament will raise funds to create unique experiences and provide financial support for pediatric and young adult “Ballers.”







The celebrity-filled weekend will include appearances from Las Vegas hockey player Deryk Engelland, baseball legend Roger Clemens, football star Evan Mathis and more.

“I am thrilled to collaborate with Baller Dream Foundation on such an incredible event,” said Maddux. “These Ballers face battles daily most of us can’t comprehend, and we look forward to partnering with Circa to continue the mission of supporting and caring for these kids.” 







The weekend-long event will consist of a private dinner at Circa’s secluded steakhouse Barry’s Downtown Prime; a welcome party at the outdoor pool amphitheater, Stadium Swim; and a celebrity poker tournament held at the resort’s 60th floor rooftop lounge, Legacy Club.

CEO of Circa Resort & Casino Derek Stevens said, “We are honored to have been chosen as the location of this event. It is an excellent organization we are proud to partner with, and it’s going to be wonderful to see these legendary athletes come together for such a meaningful cause.”











The weekend will include the following activities:

  • Private Dining with Chef Barry at Barry’s Downtown Prime: The tournament weekend will kick off with an invite-only event featuring a private dining experience with Executive Chef Barry Dakake on Friday, April 28. During the evening, guests will be able to mingle with celebrities and top-tier sponsors while dining on signature steaks, seafood and pasta dishes.
  • Commencement Celebration at Stadium Swim: Circa’s year-round, multi-tiered pool amphitheater, Stadium Swim, will host the poker tournament’s commencement celebration from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 29. The destination pool features six, temperature-controlled pools, a 143-foot diagonal viewing screen and dozens of cabana options. Single tickets are available for purchase for $500.
  • Main Event Poker Tournament at Legacy Club: The main event will be held on Sunday, April 30 at Circa’s rooftop cocktail lounge, Legacy Club.The tournament will include a silent auction, cocktail reception and stunning wraparound views of the city’s skyline. Legacy Club is a luxurious lounge paying homage to Las Vegas’ founding fathers.

The poker tournament will feature cash prizes for first through fifth place with winnings up to $75,000. All funds raised from this event will stay local to Las Vegas and help Baller Dream Foundation provide community programming where cancer warriors feel supported and celebrated. Funds raised also will provide financial support to families experiencing a cancer diagnosis. Additional celebrity participants will be announced in the coming weeks.

Baller Dream Foundation was founded by Frank DeBlasi, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer at the age of 29. He was fortunate to have a wonderful support network of family, friends and co-workers and he promised himself that if he survived, he would build a foundation for young people batting cancer.

Now cancer-free, Frank kept his promise and created Baller Dream Foundation, where they recognized the critical need for emotional and daily living support that is not available to all young warriors battling cancer. Baller Dream works closely with children’s hospitals across the country and provides in-hospital, volunteer-led activities to help ease the minds of warriors and support their families.

Packages for the weekend range from $10,000 to $75,000 and include hotel accommodations, seats at the tournament (including buy-in), marketing packages and access to the events. To reserve seats and inquire about sponsorship packages, click here.

Baller Dream is accepting donations for their silent auctions. If interested in donating an item or experience, please contact paige@ballerdream.org.
