Big Slick Fundraiser

Back in 2010, Rob Riggle called fellow Shawnee Mission graduates Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis with an idea. "Let's host a poker tournament to raise money for Children's Mercy."

Since then, the guys and other celebrity guests have raised more than $12 million through sponsorships, a live auction and an online fundraising campaign. The entire event is planned and supported by the volunteer efforts of the family, friends and the help of Children's Mercy staff, keeping expenses to a minimum and dollars directly to the kids at a maximum.
