“I am so thankful to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and the Charity Series of Poker for hosting this amazing event to benefit Maximum Hope Foundation. I started this nonprofit when I realized how lucky I was to have two healthy children, and wanted to help those parents who are wiped out financially while their son or daughter battles to survive,” said Garrett. “I am a big believer in the power of remaining grateful and giving back, and feel truly honored to have found such wonderful like-minded people in Matt Stout and the Hard Rock family. I look forward to playing in this event and hope you will join me for a great time in support of a great cause.”
Since Brad Garrett founded Maximum Hope Foundation in the year 2007, more than 1,000 families caring for a child with a life-limiting illness have received financial relief when they needed it most. Children with complex medical diagnoses often endure years of treatment, which can cause a huge financial strain for their families. They are faced with loss of income and out-of-pocket medical costs that make daily living expenses difficult to meet. Working diligently with hospital and hospice social workers, Maximum Hope provides financial help for necessities like rent, utilities, groceries or gas. The immediate, compassionate assistance we provide allows parents to remain focused on what is most important: their child.
