About
We are a garage start-up national charity that has a few co-founders and many followers. We can trace our micro-philanthropic origins to a small town called Charlottesville in Virginia where an idea was born between three friends:
Raise small amounts of money doing something you love.
But we needed legitimacy, we needed rules, we needed acceptance, we needed permission, we needed none of these things… we just needed a community.
We realized we needed to do something vs. doing nothing
and the micro-philanthropic movement began.
The micro-philanthropic movement fractured into various communities and many people went on to do many extraordinary things though meaningful relationships and small sums of money that added up to huge impacts on society through tiny acts of collective philanthropy.
Then, tragedy kept striking. Some of our friends were getting diagnosed and some died of cancer. We resurrected one of the fractured ideas: If you don’t like cancer and/or you love Texas Hold’em Poker ,
We are your community.
A. I. A. C. - All In Against Cancer is our attempt at doing something.
We are seeking poker players and home game host volunteers who care (in addition to philanthropic investors and financial supporters) who want us to achieve the unthinkable - small sums adding up to a large number and tremendous, perpetual impact to fight cancer. here in the Commonwealth and beyond.
