The buy-in is $100 per person, and every player will receive a Tom Sox hat, two single-game tickets for the upcoming season, and of course a seat at the table to compete for some great prizes.

And there are plenty of reasons to bring your best poker face.

The first-place prize package is valued at $875, second place is $675, and third place takes home a package valued at $595. Prizes will also be awarded to the top three, top ten, and even the top twenty finishers, so there are lots of chances to walk away a winner.

Players will also have the option for rebuys and add-ons, so you can stay in the action and keep the cards flying throughout the evening.

Events like this help support the mission of the Charlottesville Tom Sox, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating an unparalleled summer collegiate baseball experience while making a meaningful impact right here in our community.

Many of those players even stay with local host families, creating strong connections between the team and the Charlottesville community.

But the Tom Sox are about more than just baseball. The organization focuses on player development, community engagement, excellence, and passion—helping shape young athletes into leaders while giving fans and families an exciting summer experience at the ballpark.
