Sunshine 2026 was a HUGE success, bringing in $300,000 for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. A field of 147 players battled it out for their share of $25,000 in prizes.

Also proud to announce our newest beneficiary, the Dementia Society of Ottawa & Renfrew County.

Thank you to Greek Village Souvlaki, Gabriel Pizza and an incredible number of corporate donors for their outstanding support.

Established in 2010 to celebrate the memory of our cherished "Sunshine", we take great pride in the community support that has allowed us to host Ottawa's largest charity poker tournament. We cover all the costs in order to be 100% efficient. Our family group of volunteers has helped various causes and over $400,000 has been awarded to players! Our primary beneficiary is the Ottawa Hospital but we've made contributions to the Canadian Cancer Society, the Ottawa Cancer Foundation, helped build a school in Haiti, provided books and supplies to children in Lebanon and helped to start farms in Africa; Truly a global impact. Special thanks to the Ottawa Hospital for honouring our foundation with the dedication of the Najah Ayoub Patient Consultation Room and announcing the dedication of a patient room in the new Civic campus.

Another successful tournament for another great organization! Established in 1956, the Dewaan Foundation is a Canadian non-profit organization built on a legacy of generosity, cultural pride, and community service. Founded by a dedicated group of Canadian-Lebanese professionals and entrepreneurs, the Foundation has spent decades supporting meaningful causes that uplift lives and strengthen local communities. Its members are united by a shared commitment to giving back—whether through fundraising for healthcare initiatives, supporting local charities, or empowering university students with educational opportunities. With deep roots in both Canadian and Lebanese heritage, they strive to build bridges across cultures and generations, fostering hope, resilience, and opportunity for all. At the Dewaan Foundation, they believe that lasting change begins with compassion and collaboration.
