2026 New York City Charity Poker Tournament to help support Children’s Tumor Foundation

The 2026 New York City Charity Poker Tournament will be held on June 18 and help support the efforts of the Children’s Tumor Foundation, which works to end neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis, collectively known as NF. 

NF is a group of genetic conditions which cause tumors to form on nerves throughout the body, with the Foundation serving as the drug discovery engine and working to “put treatments in patients' hands sooner.”

Colbeck Capital Management will sponsor the charity poker event, set to be held at The Prince George Ballroom and featuring a cocktail reception and Texas hold ‘em tournament play.

“World NF Awareness Day helps bring greater visibility to neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis and the importance of continued research, education and advocacy efforts supporting the NF community,” Colbeck Capital Management said. 

“Colbeck Capital and Jason Colodne are honored to help support CTF’s mission to advance research and improve outcomes for those impacted by NF.”

Each buy-in, sponsorship and donation advances the Foundation's work to end NF, as well as drive research, expand knowledge and advance care for individuals and families affected by the disease. 

Colbeck Capital Management was originally founded in 2009 by Colodne and Jason Beckman, while the Children’s Tumor Foundation was launched during 1978 and helps unite doctors, scientists, pharmaceutical partners and affected families. 

On June 1, DoubleDown Interactive announced a $10,000 donation to American Cancer Society (ACS) in support of their mission to spread awareness about health screenings and promote healthy lifestyles during National Cancer Survivors Month.

The operator showed support for the cancer-fighting organization by inviting players to participate in a play-to-enter giveaway on June 6, 2026, titled Strive to Thrive, and provide players with information for the work done by ACS and about cancer prevention and detection.
