Upcoming Events

You’re invited to Community Backstop’s 21st Annual Texas Hold’m Tournament at Aronimink Golf Club! Over the past 20+ years, we utilized the proceeds from this event to assist over 200 local families in need. Please come and support us again this year! It is easier than you think to walk away a winner at Community Backstop’s event. There will be Door Prizes, Raffles and Prizes for the Top 10 Places (Trips, TV’s, video games and much more)! Food, beer and wine are provided at the event. We look forward to seeing you there!

In recent years we were gracious for the support of our sponsors who have have been long time supporters of Community Backstop. For 2025, we have five levels of sponsorship ranging from Presenting Sponsor ($15,000) to Individual Buy-In ($350).  Bring friends, family, or clients and we’ll guaranty a great time for all.

For those of you who have been able to join us in prior years, you know what a huge success this event has become.  As in prior years, we were blessed at last year’s event to hear from a family we helped during the year.  It is never easy to stand up in front of 200+ people and share some deeply personal aspects of one’s life, and we are grateful for those who do so each year.  There is no clearer evidence of what we have been able to accomplish than hearing directly from those we have helped.

Please take a moment to sign up for the event right away!  The CB Texas Hold’em event at Aronimink has become a tradition around here: a terrific cause, good food and drink, and a fun night of poker for all skill levels.  Prior knowledge of the game is not necessary – we have professional dealers who will coach the Newbies until they’re comfortable shouting “All in!”  Prizes are awarded throughout the evening, including random prizes for all participants as well as big league items for the players lucky/skillful enough to make it to the final table.  Remember that the real winners are the local individuals and families in need who are on the receiving end of Community Backstop’s financial resources.  Check out the pictures from prior years’ events and imagine yourself in the middle of the action!
