Psst... do you know the password?
You can't just walk in the door to this speakeasy, tough guy. You gotta have the password, see? And to get the password, you gotta bring the goods. The sugar, the scratch, the dough.
But don't worry, it's going to a good cause.
Your $40 donation to Kearny Street Workshop gets you a seat at our Prohibition Poker tournament. All guests are welcome—but to play, you've got to reserve your seat.

What is Kearny Street Workshop?
Do I need to pay beforehand to reserve my seat?
Yes, if you'd like to guarantee your seat at the tournament. We will accept at-the-door donations to play, but with a first come first served policy in effect. We will expect a capacity crowd at the event.

Is my donation tax-deductible? Can I give more?
Amounts paid to play games of chance are not tax-deductible according to the IRS, even if paid to a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization like Kearny Street Workshop. Therefore entry fees and rebuys are not tax-deductible to the poker player. However, all proceeds benefit Kearny Street Workshop and go to a great cause. To make a tax-deductible donation, please
click here, or bring your donation with you to the event.

Prohibition? Will there be a bar?
Keep it down—we're running a speakeasy here. Just between you and me, pal, we might have a little something to wet your whistle. Your donations at the bar will further support Kearny Street Workshop.

What are the prizes to be won?
The top prize is something harder to find than a bottle of prohibition-era hooch—the highly sought-after Nintendo Wii. And we have more fantastic prizes to be won from the Westin St. Francis Health Club & Spa, Adventure Cat Sailing, Yank Sing, and more, courtesy of local donors and our sponsors at SanDisk and WHERE magazine.
