The charity event, held in partnership with Yuengling and the Phillies, features a special opportunity to play poker alongside Nola, his teammates, coaches and other legendary athletes, with the goal of raising money to support the health and wellness of America\u2019s veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to playing poker, attendees at Aaron Nola\u2019s Charity Tournament<\/a> presented by Yuengling will have the chance to enjoy cocktails, local bites, prizes, ballpark tours, on-field photo opportunities and more. There will also be special appearances by the Phillie Phanatic and Phillies Ballgirls, and broadcaster Tom McCarthy will emcee the program portion of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTeam Red, White & Blue is a remarkable organization, and I\u2019m thrilled to announce this new charity poker tournament to benefit our veteran community,\u201d said Nola. \u201cIt is our hope to raise more than $250,000 for this important cause, and I look forward to joining my teammates, partners and fans for a fun evening at the ballpark on May 15.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYuengling Brewery is proud to support Team RWB in their work to support America\u2019s Veterans.  Their programs and ongoing support align with our interest in supporting the U.S. Military and the sacrifices they make to keep our country safe,\u201d said Dick Yuengling, Chief Executive Officer and Owner, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. \u201cAaron Nola puts on an excellent event to raise additional funds from the community and make more people aware of this great cause.  We look forward to joining the Phillies, Aaron, and Team RWB this May to combine efforts and support our nation\u2019s heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, Nola\u2019s commitment to Team RWB and the veteran community has raised more than $131,000 for the cause, with past efforts including charitable events such as bowling tournaments. Nola has also supported the cause by making donations for every strikeout he made during the 2023 and 2024 season, ultimately throwing over 399 strikeouts and generating $419,351.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAaron Nola\u2019s unwavering commitment to supporting Veterans in partnership with Team RWB over the last three years sets a gold standard among elite American athletes,\u201d said Mike Erwin, Founder and Executive Director of Team RWB. \u201cThis event will not only raise funds for our mission, but will also have a lasting impact by showing a future generation of service members that they will be supported by their nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
