Join Houston Humane Society for the second annual Hearts for Hounds Poker Tournament, an unforgettable evening of Texas Hold'em, casino gaming, networking, and philanthropy. This premier fundraising event brings together business leaders, industry professionals, and community supporters for a high-energy night benefiting animals in need.
The event will take place on Monday, November 2, 2026, at Alara Garage, a one-of-a-kind luxury automotive showroom featuring an extraordinary collection of exotic and high-end vehicles. Its unique setting provides the perfect backdrop for this year's optional 1920s-inspired speakeasy theme.
Your Individual Player Ticket includes entry into the full Texas Hold'em tournament, a reserved seat at a professionally managed poker table, and access to Craps, Blackjack, and Roulette provided by iHost Poker. Guests will enjoy heavy hors d'oeuvres throughout the evening, a full open bar featuring beer, wine, spirits, and signature whiskey-forward cocktails, plus exclusive garage tours showcasing Alara's impressive collection.
Players will compete for tournament prizes, with all final table participants receiving a prize and grand prizes awarded to the first, second, and third place winners. Guests can also participate in a luxury raffle featuring exclusive prize packages.
Not a poker player or out of the tournament sooner than you hoped? Casino games will be available from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and winnings can be exchanged for raffle tickets for a chance to win one of three exciting prizes.
Business casual or cocktail attire is encouraged, with optional 1920s-inspired flair for guests who would like to embrace the theme.
Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, Hearts for Hounds offers a unique opportunity to enjoy an evening of entertainment while supporting Houston Humane Society's lifesaving mission for animals in need.
We hope you'll go all in for the animals and help make this year's Hearts for Hounds our most impactful tournament yet.
