In a social media statement, Jacob Zalewski, who founded One Step Closer in 2007 with the late Sam Simon, said funds from the charity events "have provided crucial support to hospitals, groundbreaking research projects, esteemed universities, essential scholarships, impactful grants, and enduring endowments, collectively transforming the lives of countless individuals."

"As we embark on this year’s tournament, our commitment remains stronger than ever," Zalewski wrote on Facebook. "We invite you to join us in making this our most impactful and successful event to date, as we continue to build a brighter future for the individuals and families we serve. Your participation will directly contribute to fostering a world filled with greater opportunity and unwavering support."

None of the headliners are newcomers to poker, and Tilly made the final table of the Big Deal for One Drop charity event in November 2024. Other celebrity and poker player appearances will be announced at a later date.

There are other upcoming charity poker events in Las Vegas, including four hosted by the Charity Series of Poker (CSOP): All In Gala on April 14, Heroes at the Table on May 4; the Full Houses of Food on June 12; and Cops 4 Kids on June 13.

The CSOP recently held its Larry Frank Memorial Charity Event in South Florida, which saw Matthew Zarcadoolas winning the $5,000 first-place prize plus a seat into the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship.
