The Cause

Every hand dealt is a hand extended — to the next generation in South Los Angeles.

For six years, the Why Not? Poker Night has brought together athletes, founders, and friends of the foundation for one purpose: turning a night at the table into real opportunity for the communities Russell Westbrook calls home.

All proceeds raised support the Russell Westbrook Why Not? Foundation’s mission of creating pathways of empowerment for underserved populations in South Los Angeles — through education, mentorship, and family resources. Hosted in partnership with the WPT Foundation.
